Can I plug my outdoor lighting transformer into this device and then use it? Also do i need to purchase anything additional to make this work?

It should work fine as long as it doesn't exceed the 80W rating. You need a zwave controller to turn it on and off.

As long as the power demand does not exceed 80watts (rated load for contacts). nothing else is needed as long as you have a Zwave compatible network.

No, requires a transformer. I connected mine to a power station that controls my lighting.

I don't think so. The transformer needs full power from your wall socket. You would insert a 12 volt dimmer between this device and your string of lights.

I did not install it because it is an AC transformer and not suitable for LED lights (which need a DC transformer.) There were no instructions with mine.

Honestly, I don't know the answer to your inquiry. I used the transformer to power low voltage landscape lights and it works famously. As for LED strips......I haven't a clue. Very sorry.

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.

This unit comes with a transformer. The light plugs to the transformer and to a 110 outlet. Did your light come with it? Your picture does not show it. Maybe they forgot to send it with your light.

Hi Mark,I'm not sure. I use the device during hunting where no any lights. I guess you shouldn't direct it to street lamps.Good luck

You will need a 12 volt transformer to provide power for the light. I bought a Moonrays transformer. The 8 watt light will be plenty light for a landscape sign. We bought 6 of these to project on the house and six four watt lights to shine up in trees. Your transformer needs to have enough wattage to cover the power demand of the sum of the lights.

The rating of your outdoor transformer of 600 watts falls below the spec. rating of the timer - 1000 watts. It should work out OK.

You need a 110 volt to 12 v. DC transformer, sold separately. You "plug" the lights into the transformer (be sure to get one with the matching DC plug on one end) and plug the other 110-120 v. plug into an outlet, and they should "play." Recommend you get a higher wattage transformer than the rating for the lights. One of mine burned out less than a month after installation. Replacement has double the wattage and works fine.

They don't - you need to buy landscape wire and a transformer. I got my landscape wire from Amazon (100 feet for $39 I think) and the transformer from lowes. Figure out how many lights you have and multiply by 10 to figure out what size transformer to buy. Better to overestimate to make sure your transformer can handle your lights and have room to expand.

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

This devise works by plugin in outlet, if your main light is connected to outlet then only this will work, otherwise not.

Mudder is selling 12 volt lights, not complete kits. No transformer is included. Search amazon.com for Malibu Landscape Transformer and Malibu Landscape Wiring for the rest of what's needed.
