Have anyone used this transformer for pool lighting? i plan on using it for 30-watt led pool underwater light bulb.

you need to know what the amp draw is per light to know what size transformer you will need from 5 amp up to 30 amp find out then i can help you

It may be used to power a 12VDC 30W LED light bulb. Although it is waterproof rated, protecting it from getting wet is recommended (especially wire connections).

Perhaps. The trick is to supply 12v DC to the lights. I think the transformer is in the little box with the blades that fit into the plug, so you would have splice in before the transformer. When I replaced my fluorescent under-counter lights, my solution was to pull the old lights, install a plug at the end of those hard wires, and then plug into that. A bit of extra work, but not bad.

I suspect no problem as long as lights require 24v. Probably don't draw too much power so well within the wattage of this transformer. Andrew

You could I guess, but I think you can find the same light in 110 though. I just looked at the light I had in the pool before and got the 12 so I could put it in and be done, as not to have to rewire or anything.I'm not the maker/seller nor am I a licensed electrician, but if you want/need to go the transformer route I don't see an issue

I had no problem with my 300 watt, 12v Malibu transformer. I have used mine for over a year and it still works perfectly.

Honestly, I don't know the answer to your inquiry. I used the transformer to power low voltage landscape lights and it works famously. As for LED strips......I haven't a clue. Very sorry.

Maybe. They sure blow out easy, don't they? I found a company that sells the replacement but I needed expert help to identify the exact component. He decided not to help once he figured out I'm not really using it to grow coral in salt water aquarium. If I were to buy LED again I'd spend more money upfront on a more reliable unit. Try googling any identifier on the panel, that might take you to a page of specs. If you can read them google the specs on the transformer and look for a retailer. Good luck. I just went back to HPS because we are flowering and we couldn't keep dicking around. Maybe. They sure blow out easy, don't they?

I have the same Malibu lighting system but only use the walkway lights not floods. However, if your total wattage does not exceed 300 watts, there is no reason this transformer cannot handle it. It does have a slight buzz sound (very faint) and I had to replace mine unit once several years ago. I think you are good to go.

I used these for to replace 6 halogens on a low voltage track with a transformer. The only issue I had was when I replaced all 6 halogens, the power draw was below what the transformer was rated for, so I kept one halogen. But my transformer was really old, you may or may not have the same issue. But they work with a dimmer etc.

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.

Hi ! Before you buy it check the " actual transformer for LED ". Check the voltage and the POWER required . Normally LED strings/strips are working at 12VDC . as I do not know your "LED arrangement" I cannot say if this transformer can be used for your application !

I tried it with the fluorescent type of bulb and they flickered. It did work with an incandescent flood, but I wanted something that used less energy. So, I removed it and it is sitting in a box until I can figure out what I want to do with it--give it away or use it.

You should be able to use any transformer designed for low voltage (12 volt) lighting. I believe that Amazon may sell some of these transformers - search to find out.

It's called a transformer because it converts AC house power to DC at 12 volts. I use it with 12-volt incandescent bulbs, so can't answer your LED query. But someone else evidently thinks the answer is yes. This unit was a snap to install, and has been working great.

Look up "low voltage transformers" on Amazon. Almost any one will work. I used the paradise gl22720 because I wanted a light sensor.

This transformer converts 120 volts AC to 12v DC . It output ampage is very low. This will not work for what you are attempting to do. With out looking at your 220 volt lights its hard tp be exact. But if you can find a 120 volt bulb that fits the light and make sure its connected to a 120volt source it will work fine. If they came with a 240volt plug. You will have to change it to a 120volt plug . I hope this helps

At least yours works. The OTTlite I had quit working because it had a faulty transformer. I thought it was the bulb, but after spending $15.00 for a new one, discovered that it was the transformer. OTTlite never responded to my requests, had no replacements available, no suggestions on repairs...nothing. A transformer of the correct voltage from an electrical supplier cost nearly $30.00. I trashed the crappy OTTlite and bought a similar light from Lowe's for about $20.00. It has worked fine...no problems.
