Is this transformer is for LED only, or can be used to power 12V incandescent light bulbs (eg. landscape lighting)

I'm sorry I don't really sure, but I think it works, just check the Amps. of consumption plus 30% more.

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.

Yes, you can use this for anything that requires a 12 volt input, just keep in mind you want to keep the load at or less than 75% of maximum. Although mine has been operating just fine powering my led controller and 150 watts of strip lights

If you plan on putting these lights outdoor, you should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use the standard 120V transformer. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc﻿ If you plan on putting these lights outdoor, you should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them.

All transformers are multipurpose. You just need to make sure that it will supply the necessary amperage for your application. This transformer is weatherproof, others are not. Again, this is another consideration to take into account.

I do not know if this will work for 12 volt LED lights. I cannot advise you on that at all.

No, Will only work with Halogen or Incandescent loads (bulbs). FOR LED, you need a DC driver, try Eversale (illuminous) 12V, 12W = EV-12V-1000-12D, 26W = EV-12V-2200-33D, 48W = EV-12V-4000-60D. Also 24V versions 12W = EV-24V-500-12D, 26W = EV-24V-1100-33D, 48W = EV-24V-2000-60D

Any 12 volt transformer will work. I use a Malibu unit that powers All of my 12 volt lights. I currently have about 25 lights around myHome

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.

A halogen bulb is categorized as incadescent, so yes this transformer will work so long as your bulb is 12 volts. At 150 watts, you can have up to seven 20 watt bulbs.

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

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.

If this is the 12v version then as long as the total current is within the range of your transformer, it should work. I don't recommend it though, as these draw more current than typical landscape lights.If it is the 120V version, no, it cannot be used.

Steve Horvath asked the question specifically about the 12VDC version of the light. LED Wholesalers sells a 12VDC, and a 120VAC version of the light. As long as your low voltage landscape lighting system can supply 12 volts DC (not AC), and can supply at least 10 watts of power, then yes this light will work fine.If, however, your low voltage system provides AC power instead of DC... then no.If your low voltage lighting system is 12 volts DC, make certain that you buy the 12VDC version of the light.

It has a built in circuit breaker. And at least try not to overload it, with LED's. You should take your total potential watts of LED's and add a 20% safety margin. If total watt load will be 200 watts, you want a transformer with at least a 240 watt total load specification. Got it? Peter

I am using 10 - 3watt with a 12/24v transformer and 8 -3 watt with another 12/24 transformer, both running through PCM dimmers. I am using E-Goal 12V 10A 120W DC Switch Power Supply Driver For LED Strip Light Display for both and works great. here is the dimmer 3 of LEDwholesalers LED Strip Lights PWM Dimming Controller For LED Lights or Ribbon, 12 Volt 8/10 Amp, 3301

This product used 120V AC power and converts it to 12V DC power. It will work for any type of 12V DC device. Beware though, polarity is important in DC devices. If it doesn't turn on at first, reverse the wires and it should work. Also, these transformers have a maximum load in watts. Be sure to know the watts of your string of devices. Do not overload the transformer. If you need to, buy two. That is the downside of using a lot of LED lighting devices. They may be cheap but the transformers and additional wiring can be expensive. Hope this helped.

The transformar give you the dirección how to conected, just make sure the power source for the input is 110-120VAC(volt, Alter Current) the out put for this item should be getting 12VDC( volts, Direct Current) if you are connecting an LED make sure your negative and positive are connecting right to make them work other wise just flip the connections.

Low voltage landscape lighting is DC. That's why you use a transformer... it converts the 110 volt AC current into 12 volt DC. I bought an AC lighting fixture and wired it up to my Malibu transformer. It works fine and I have no reason to think it will not last a long time.

Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. Some LED lights need 12V AC, some will need 12V DC, and some will accept both. If you need 12V DC, I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide.
