Can I use this transformer to power a string of 6-10W led lights in parallel ... thereby using about 60 watts total

LED's come in all different voltage ranges , most commons being 1.5 volts, 3 volts, 9 volts, and 12 volts. The output from the LED driver: *Input Voltage:110 -130 Volt*Output Voltage:12V DC*Power:150 Watt 12.5Awould imply that you are within the working range of the LED driver in that you are not exceeding 150 watts. Watts = volt amps, therefore amps = 60/12 = 5 amps. LED driver is limited by 12.5 amps, therefore you ar within the working range. Don't see a problem with your planned setup.

This transformers output is in DC (direct current) voltage, so if the 6 bulbs that you are trying to power are DC and 12volt, then yes it would work. However, if your bulbs are AC (alternating current) and anything other than 12volts, this transformer will not work. You will have to find a rating for the bulbs that you are trying to light. This transformers purpose is to take 120 volt AC current (the type of current your house uses) and change it to 12 volt DC power (the type of current your car uses) for use on whatever bulb or device is 12 volt DC current, under 150 watts.

Yes just make sure that you get 12v dc LEDs and think you need mor then one repeter each strip is 16 feet long and can draw 72 watts at 12v each

As it's a DC output it should be possible. Make sure the LED you use is also listed as dimmable on a DC transformer.

No a power transformer will be needed. Search for 12V minimum of 2 AMPS to power these lights. Since most transformers come with a barrel connector and the LED lights come with a barrel receiver they plug together well. I have purchases these type of lights for 3 projects and very happy with the output.

I never used this transformer for LED strip light. I use this transformer for halogen lamps. I have two 20W 12V halogen lamps connected to each transformer I purchased. I bought 9 of them in October 2012 and use them daily, but not continuous. They work great for now. I think if your strip light is around 40 watts it should work. Good luck with your project.

If your taking about LED light strips, first you need to know what the Amp draw is for the lights. That can vary based on the number of lights / ft and the kind of lights. The last ones I used had 3/4" space between lights and were rated at .7 watts / ft. The next thing you need to know is the specs on the transformers. The transformers that I used supplied 2000 mA or 2 amps. One thing we learn in basic electricity is that 1 watt = 1 volt x 1 amp. So, that means each 16' strip of lights requires x 16 x .7 or 11.2 watts. Therefore, since V x A = W 12v x 2 amps = 24 watts. That means that the transformers that I selected will only supply 24 watts each. Conclusion based on my transformers they would only power 2 strips each. So Alicia, if the light strips are close to each other, I would look for a transformer that could produce higher amps. and only need 1 or 2 transformers.

Yes, just a standard 12VAC wire-wound transformer, Malibu, etc. will do. It does not have to be specially for LED (diku). Most good old transformers weigh a couple pounds and about twice the size of your hand. (I don't like these new light weight electronic transformers) This should power a couple dozen 1W lamps. For correct sizing compare your transformer with a new one and read the label. It's best to oversize the transformer a little more than just adding up the watts of the lamps. If you are planning a large (many dozen) system, get help.

simple answer, nope. This strip takes up to 72 watts. The power supply is 12 volt 6 amp output. Using Watts=Watts/Volts the power supply can handle only 72watts. you would need an inline amplifier and another power adapter.

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 !

it is a 60 watt transformer 4 bulbs x 3watts equals 12 watts total, so it should be fine.

It depends on what bulb you use and how many lights you want to use. The current rating of the transformer should be equal to the number of lights times the current rating of the bulbs. I use LEDs in my lamps so the current requirements are low.

It depends on how many lights you have on the transformer already. The lights all together will only use 80 watts. 10 watts each. If you dont have any other lights on the transformer you have plenty of power! The light is bright but seeing that the lens is convex the light is diffused and doesnt resemble the light from the 20 watt halogen.

It depends on the watts used by the fixtures. I have 11 10-watt path lights on mine and they're nowhere close to maxing the transformer out. It can go up to 200 watts with any combination of lights, so long as they stay below that max. Be sure to get wiring that can handle whatever load you end up with too -- and get fifty feet more than you think you'll need!

It should work. Just make sure that the bulbs draw at least 50 Watts combined or the transformer will not work. Maximum is 150 Watts.

I used the same transformer that was powering my white 12V light. It works great!

This transformer just makes 12 volts direct current output. Anything (lights, toys, etc.) that needs 12V DC would work fine on this, although I think this power supply can only deliver 150 watts of power--don't try to draw more than that.

I believe so, but can't answer for certain. In my case, I just replaced the old fixtures, clamping in to the existing low-wattage line, and had no reason to check out the transformer. My previous experiene with low-watt lights required a transformer. Wish I could be more difinitive for you.
