Do the lights come with a transformer, if not how much does a transformer cost. For about four lights or so?

I believe so, but can't answer for certain. In my case, I just replaced the old fixtures, clamping in to the existing low-wattage line, and had no reason to check out the transformer. My previous experiene with low-watt lights required a transformer. Wish I could be more difinitive for you.

Hello Simon. I have just ordered some of these units from Amazon USA to be shipped for my home use in Singapore also. May I please ask how your experience has been with them, what transformer you use and where you purchased these transformers?

I'm not a specialist but I think Transformer should have fuses.Find fuses at amazon.com

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.

I had a tree pruner ruin one light, and had to order another whole set because I was told they didn't sell singles! Assume same is true of transformers. If I had your address, I could sell you several surplus ones I have sitting in the garage!

If your taking about LED light strips, first you need to know what the Amp draw is for the lights. That can vary based on the number of lights / ft and the kind of lights. The last ones I used had 3/4" space between lights and were rated at .7 watts / ft. The next thing you need to know is the specs on the transformers. The transformers that I used supplied 2000 mA or 2 amps. One thing we learn in basic electricity is that 1 watt = 1 volt x 1 amp. So, that means each 16' strip of lights requires x 16 x .7 or 11.2 watts. Therefore, since V x A = W 12v x 2 amps = 24 watts. That means that the transformers that I selected will only supply 24 watts each. Conclusion based on my transformers they would only power 2 strips each. So Alicia, if the light strips are close to each other, I would look for a transformer that could produce higher amps. and only need 1 or 2 transformers.

I used a 12 volt 1 amp or greater DC transformer from the Goodwill store ($1.99); works well. LEDs are polarized so you have to get the + and - side correct or it won't work.9 Volts will also work; must be DC.

Yes you need a transformer for this light. Plug the transformer into your yard outlet and power this light from the transformer. Otherwise you will destroy this light.

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.

I don't know. I used the one I purchased to repair a surgical lamp at the clinic where my wife works. The transformer worked perfectly but I don´t know.

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.

You have to have a transformer to run this light. It's a low voltage light (12 volts I think).

Yes you can - I think the ML44T is designed for the new LED lights, which use less wattage. Make sure your total wattage is within bounds for the new transformer.

You will need to purchase a transformer and wire. Love the lights planning on purchasing more!

I use 11 watts in mine because I want subdued lighting. However a larger wattage can be used if the base of the bulb fits. The light will be brighter provided you stay within wattage of your transformer, usually 10 watts less than rating.
