what size of transformer do I need for 20 lights each with 12 volt bulb?

Hi Reba. You have provided insufficient information to answer your question. You need to know the wattage (or the amperage) of all your bulbs. Provide the total amperage/wattage of all your bulbs combined (or the watts/amps of a single bulb if all the bulbs are the exact same). If you provide those numbers, your question can be answered.

I only use 12 gauge, in the event that you may want to add lights in the future and don't want to worry how far away the transformer tou're better off with the thicker guage

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.

Good morning, I would suggest buying a transformer that is rated 100 a watts more than your light fixtures. Also, if you are going to add any additional lights, now woul be a good time to figure that in do you don't have to buy an additional transformer down the road. Hope this helps.

I have 5 low voltage (each 20 watts) undercabinet lights running from the transformer.

It is a 12volt output. The transformer that came with this set is capable of powering up to 24 lights. Keep in mind that the mounting hole should be 7/8" not 1 inch like some others.

i was unable to find LED 120V in that correct size. Maybe later I will install a 12V transformer and then 12v LED

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divideby your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire)This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

Box is about 2 inches by 3 inches. It does not contain a transformer. These lights work on 120 volts house wiring directly, but need to be connected inside the box to house wiring for code reasons.

I find that if you buy another complete lighting package and then change the bulbs to 7watt LED bulbs gives you the flexibility to add more lights on one transformer. The 7watt LED bulb gives you the same light output as 50 watts. Be aware that the transfer may make a buzzing some when you change to LED.

Transformer required and is included with each light. Transformer is small enough to fit into an electrical junction box.

one per package need to make sure transformer dosnt put out more than 12 volt or they will burn out

Yes, I used 4 w 12 v bulbs in these sockets. Malibu light transformer. GO ><>'

I don't think a 20 volt battery will work with a 12 volt light.The least damage it will do is burn out the light bulb and maybe the circuit board.

since they are only 1 watt each-you need a very small transformer. If you are planning to add additional lighting especially flood lights non-LED you will need to make sure your get one to be large enough to meet your current + future needs.

Yes 11w are fine. Multiply wattage by number of lights to determine if transformer has enough power. In this case, the 120 watt transformer will support 10 11w bulbs (10*11=110 watts).

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