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

I accidentally bought this fixture, meaning to get a 12 VDC one, so i took the four screws off the back and cut the transformer out, exposing red and black wires that hook up directly to the 12 VDC battery, and the light works like a charm, no issues what soever. Hope this helps.

The cables are easy to shorten. You just need wire cutters. The transformer is attached to a standard ceiling box that is commonly used for ceiling lights. The transformer cover covers the transformer and the box. It is very easy to install.

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.

Well your kind of lucky because I just realized both of mine are wired like that. I followed the wiring instructions and I seem to have the same problem. Something is backwards and coincidentally I was going to look into it today. I really thought I had it right the first time around. Oh well. If you find the answer let me know , I'll do the same.

the company sells the transformer separately. You can also buy it from Ledwholesalers for 15.75 with prime shipping here on amazon. Then the light and transformer have to be wired together. I get my electrician to do it , but if you know how to connect two wires together you can do it yourself. I love these lights. But I do not submerse them under water, so I have had no problems. I can't say if they work good under water.

I'll ask my husband (not here right now), but my thought is that if the transformer dies, do you really want it hard wired? That's what happened with our previous lights. The lights were fine but the transformer died.

I read some place it does, but you have to use a special splitter which is behond my understanding. I think it is in the the instruction sheet. This a is a great unit. Took all my problems away when I installed. You do have to allow one cable for a step down transformer. Otherwise it requires some power to operate. I use a white cable to stop any mix ups with the regular cable. Good luck I have not regetted the purchase of this splitter. When I move it is coming with me.

Hi, The system I have is a three phase system. Two incoming 72 KV lines into two large transformers create the third phase. I use the units on both 125 V phases. It seems that the signal does not have problems to run through both transformers. I hope this is useful for you. I know there is a cross-over unit if it gives problems to go from one phase to the other. K.R. Tony

I suspect the reason for the 2 wire (single line) cable is to keep interference down should you actually have a second line on the line 2 wires (the outter pair). I solved this by using a L1+L2 splitter that I got at the hardware store.

I measured the wires at 18''. All the wires are the same length, and they all have to plug into the transformer. If you want them evenly spaced, you'll have 3 lights evenly spaced across 3'.

Noo. U need transformer. Don't get this item it's not new . It is used . Trust me. Get new 1. Do not get it from here. Ali

I want to split the line, so I can control the TV input from 2 different locations (not at the same time). The splitter I looked at here says to use minimum 26 AWG gauge wire cables, but everything I have looked at so far here is 28 AWG, which is smaller than recommended. So I am assuming, without further info, that these cables have 28 AWG wire in them. Please correct me if I am wrong about that!

only comes with the wire that is attached to each individual light. You have to get the low voltage wire (cut to the desired length you need to go through your garden) separately at Home Depot or similar store. The employee there should be able to help you choose the correct wire. You will need to measure where you want it to go in order to tell him how much you need. Hope this helps. Once you get them connected and working you'll love them. I do. I've had mine for years. You'll need an electrician to connect them to the transformer or someone that knows how to do it. Enjoy!

no problem here. Installed a year or two ago. Ran old telephone wire pair to the CMV IR-130. Supplied unit with 12 volt DC as specified. The unit will automatically turn off when there is existing lighting ( like sun light ). My wire run was around 50 feet, using 22 gauge wire, as close as I can remember. Note that the frequency of the light must be the same frequency as the sensor in the camera. I was careful to mount the IR-130 in such a manner that water would not run into the internal part of the unit. Note: the hex tool used to adjust the 130 is metric. I do not recall which tool, seems like it is a 3 or 5 millimeter hex tool, but do not remember which. Just be prepared to find the right tool. Unit has never had a problem in the year or 2 that I have been using it. Good luck.

Hi Leslie - yeah, these things are kindofa brat to install. It took my electrician several tries before he got it, and the instructions aren't clear. If I remember correctly, your wiring to/from the light needs to have a three wire configuration, where one wire is called the "traveler" wire... it essentially informs the other switch of the state of itself so they are always in sync.If you have an older home, you may be SOL - the wiring may not support this switch type.Rob

I have not yet installed my lights, which are still in the box. After reading the instructions I decided it was too complicated for me, so I'm going to wait till spring and get someone else to install them. However, if I read the instructions correctly, I got the impression that the transformer could be outside.
