Is there a line splitter, like a t-splitter? Need to run lights to the right and left off the transformer.

No Splitter, the lights daisy chain. There is an extension run you could use to run to the left and then back to the right. I wired mine such that they zigzag a 4' walkway, spaced about 6' between lights.

You'd have to hard wire the transformer. Without the transformer, those lights won't work. So your best bet would be to cut off the Edison plug on the transformer, then strip the wires back and wire nut them to whatever hard wire run you'd have. My advice would be to run a new outlet to where you'd want to hard wire this thing. Not saying it's low quality, but for the price they're charging, QA might be a little lax. I wouldn't want to have part of this setup stuck behind a wall because with Murphy's Law, that'll be the part that needs replacing. Just my two cents.

you can split it as many times as you want as long as the amperage isn't too high. I'd use LED lights and keep the distance from the splitter as short as possible.

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood

There is nothing stopping you from trying that but my guess is that it will not work. I did that (used a splitter backwards) some years ago and, after discovering that it was worse than just twisting wires together, gave up on the idea until I found the Channel Plus Splitter/Combiner. Unlike a "Y" in a hose or pipe, electronics is not necessarily bidirectional unless designed to be that way; hence most are called simply "splitters" and few are called "combiners" or "splitter/combiner."

The transformer should be on the house side not in the light ballast. Most likely if you are replacing an existing unit there is already a transformer wired in somewhere in the home. It may be hidden behind fascia board or existing drywall.

Buy 4 of these 3 to 1 splitters (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61TemWV9nHL._SL1500_.jpg). Connect the single side to your 12V power supply then connect 1 TSSS Data Repeater (amplifier) to each of the 3 ends of the splitter (you will need 3 amplifiers). Use the other 3 splitters to connect 1 to each amplifier. This will give you 9 plug ins for your 9 lines and you will not have any power issues. This is probably overkill, but the parts are cheap and you are better off having more available capacity than too little. TIP: To keep things clean I attached heavy duty velcro to the back of each amplifier and the 12V power supply and stuck them to the wall. Buy way more wire (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71ekjJHHuAL._SL1500_.jpg) than you think you need and use these (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41q%2BhzsWiQL._SL1500_.jpg) on the amplifier end of the wire and cut these in 1/2 then splice them on the light strip end (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71j87VtkuhL._SL1500_.jpg) to make everything "plug-and-play".

I wanted the same thing, thinking however I'd switch the halogens out for LED. Didn't like the look and the transformer for some reason would make the lights flash after it got warm. Not entirely sure since I had 10 lights at 4 watts each, for a total of 40 and the transformer is designed for 100 watts. You can "build your own" with other transformers and lights, but that makes it very pricey $$$$ fast. The simple answer is no, you can't go beyond whatever your transformer is rated. It becomes a fire hazard.

Contact the seller, they are very very helpful, and purchase the 12V splitters for your needs. Just be sure that youdon't exceed the capicity for the power supply.

You can purchase additional lights. It's been so long since I installed these that I don't remember how many lights per transformer.

The two output cables are more or less for convenience. Sometimes you may have two separate power needs off one transformer. You can just cap the other lead and draw full power on the one wire.

Putting LED bulbs in let's you use less power from the transformer. Looks the same too. Get the most for your money on the transformer. You may want to expand.

I did not use any transformer for this fixture. You can buy a regular dimmer.

You can as many lights the transformer can handle. I added two spot lights to mine.

Yes, a splitter/combiner us what you want to use; such as is this product( it can be used as either). Easy to follow diagram is right on product, to follow for your application.

I have not tried this, I need to put a splitter at the input end of mine, but as of yet have not done so. I am sorry.

The photo cells are on the transformers. I also split my lights and did so without any problems.
