i have 13 lights [4]watts are this lights too high for the ml88t- 88 wats power pack?

13 light X 4 watts = 52 watts. 88 watt power pack. 88 - 52 = 36 watts to spare. Yes the power pack should handle your lights.

if you have 13 lights and they are 4 watts, that would be a total of 52 watts, you should be fine! I run 10 lights with 7 watts. and have for three or four years.

You will be fine. 13 x 4 watt bulbs = 52 watts total towards the 88 watt capacity of the unit.

Not if they draw more then 24 watts. To find out put an amp prob around one of the wires to the lights an get amps then multiply that by volts. I would assume the volts is 12. So example 12volts x 8 amps =96 watts.

I have only installed to 500 watts or more. Probably not enough power from PSU!

We put in a 100w equivalent led and the wattage was too much, the lights buzzed so we used 60w and it works great.

You will need a low voltage lighting transformer (http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-ML44T-Voltage-Lighting-Transformer/dp/B0002YTPLY/ref=pd_sim_hi_31?ie=UTF8&refRID=0K2K0MVT28WZ7426ZJ1K) and cable (http://www.amazon.com/Paradise-GL22131-Voltage-50-Foot-Landscape/dp/B00378K8WC/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y) Links provided are only examples. If you plan to add more lights around your house, get a transformer large enough to handle them. Also, cable comes in different guages and should be selected to handle all the power the transformer is rated for.

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.

you still have the same number of lights i put 2 16 foot sections together and couldn't tell any difference in brightness led's don't use a lot of power as long as you connect at the proper point it should work just fine

I switched from the lamps to the LED units and used the old transformer from the initial installation. Obvious much larger than necessary since these LED's are rated at 2 watts. A smaller transformer of 40 watts will work fine with plenty of reserve to add more fixtures.

The lights in this pack are around 50 V. Don't know if that helps but thanks for asking.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

The answer is do not overload the transformer. The transformer is rated at 60 watts and it is not difficult to determine the load of the LED lighting attached. If you are not familiar or comfortable with these calculations you should not install this product.

At the moment I'm using one 14W Fluorescent Philips I'm not sure which was the max it can be used, but do remember was far more high that I'm using now. Sorry If I can't answer your question.

I thought the same thing. The unit is only 44 W. The picture is a different unit. I run a 20 w spot lamp and 5 4w lamps

It depends on your transformer. For instance my transformer is 88 watts and I have 10 Malibu lights, so I use 7 watt bulbs. Keep total wattage at or below total wattage of your transformer.

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!
