How many lights will it power?

GENERAL RULE: Transformers should not exceed 80% of load capacity. Thus, 160 watts of load for this particular model. You never want to max out capacity. Leave a little breathing room.

Depends on the types of bulbs you use - this is a 200W unit and we bought ours to operate six halogen path lamps plus three spotlights, where the sticker value load was around 130 W, i.e. we could have run abouyt twice as many of the pathway lights or teo more spotlights. In the last couple of years, LEDs have become affordable and these use about 15% of the power, so you can run a few dozen lights off one of these.

200 watts worth of lighting, so entirely depends on the fixtures selected. I used the 8-watt Paradise GL33762BK which is a high-powered LED floodlight. In theory, i could get 25 fixtures on this one power supply. A 50-watt halogen fixture would max this power supply out with 4 fixtures. You can mix and max fixtures, just be sure they don't exceed the 200 watt capacity.

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!

Since this is a 200 watt unit, it should be able to handle a total of 20 fixtures of 10 watts each (halogen walk lights). However, depending on the gauge and total run extent of the servicing cable, somewhat less would be supported. These limitations are nearly eliminated if you utilize newer LED bulbs.

Only if u plan to dismantle and wire the light. If not then no, only one switch will be sufficient.

40 fixtures would be only 1000 watts most outlets in the US are rated either 15 amps/1800watts or 20 amps/2400watts - so yes you can run multiple lights per circuit....just make sure that you don't over load the circuit, since most wiring - other than modern stages - have multiple outlets per circuit

I have it connect to the default of two lights. I'm sure you could add more if the lights are LED.

Yes it will but I would use at least 2 or 3 With 1 you will have dark areas. Hope this helps

Yes. It comes with 2 bulbs and either will be sufficient. It might be too much light.

Since I am not sure what you intend to connect it to, I can't answer definitively. Assuming that you want it to power 12-volt lights, as long as the total wattage of the lights does not exceed 60 watts, it should work. For example, it should power three 20-watt lights, two 30-watt lights, four 15-watt lights, or whatever combination you choose as long as the total of the wattage for all of the bulbs does not exceed 60 watts.

There are 6 ports in the main control box. There are 6 cords each with a light bar on it. So I don't believe there is any way to get more lights. Maybe if you could find a cord with multiple light bars or perhaps an adapter that fits into the control box and has multiple plug ins. However, I think you will have trouble finding this

Hi Melanie. I recently purchased this item and there are in fact, 6 lights. And it's beautiful but sort of a pain to put up. The instructions are vague but once it's up you will be glad you went through it.

Does not matter. It has two 300 wAtt terminals. Best to keep total number of watts slightly below 300. For example 14 20 watt lights equals 280 watts. I have 13 - 20 watt lights - 260 total watts on each terminal and it works great!

Don't remember, and am not tempted to open dash to count. But, I believe that there should be 3-4. one being ground for light.

Richard, no, it is not too bright so if you do not have other lights I would suggest you go with 11 lights.

Yes. There are 2 switches on there so you can run 8 or 4. I suppose you could run 6 if you ran both switched but only put in 6 bulbs.

I'am not really sure. I only have 2 lights and it seems to work ok. It was alot smaller then the one I replaced so I was kind of worried it would not work, but so far it's working.

We have 3-60 watt light bulbs in this fixture but we also have other sources of lights (high hats, etc.). In looking at it, I think you could use 3 75 watt light bulbs, if necessary, if you require more illumination. Also, we have them pointed downward, which helps. I think it would work and it looks great.

How are you going to power it? a generator and if so how many total amps does your generator out ? also how many lights do you plan on installing? Hope this helps

I'm running 22 lights in line now off of one power supply. You can get an extra set without the power supply and add them to your string. If you want to run more than 24, then I recommend splitting the power source and using two power supplies.
