If I buy 2 of these sets, can I mix & match combinations of lights on each transformer - so long as there are no more than 10 lights per transformer?

Yes you can do it. As long as your wattage does not exceed the rating of the transformer. The spotlights do draw a little more.

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

You would need to set each switch at a different frequency; this is an issue that my husband investigated before installing our switches. You may know already but you can only use one switch per lighting series.

You need to make sure the voltage on your transformer is large enough to handle the bulbs you put in. For example if you use 7 watt bulbs and you have 10 lights, that your transformer is set up for that much wattage total 70 watts.

Yes. If you want to add any more lights, you will need to add another transformer. We have a fairly large house and the lights and spot lights do a really good job.

I would think you could put 2 light kits in the model if it's big enough to house the control modules. They would function as 2 separate systems though. There really is no way to combine 2 kits without wire splicing and then I'm not sure that the module could handle the additional lights.

If the limit on your transformer is 100 W and you have 52W installed now, then you can only add 4 of these because the bulbs are 10W.

Not with the standard transformers supplied.. you would need a magnetic transformer... quite expensive... The low voltage three way dimmer available from the company and included with some sets, works well.

That is what I use mine on. Add up bulb wattage, should be less than wattage of transformer. I use LED bulbs and can use over a hundred on one 88W transformer, Malibu uses 7W incandescent so 11 or 12 would be the limit.

best bet is just to buy another full kit, stash the transformer away and add the second kit, or as many as you want to your first transformer and save the rest of the lights for replacements down the road, they dont even offer replacement lights or these kits on the brinkmann.net website. If you are good with wiring/soldering, you can add an additional LED SPot light made by another manufacture and just hard wire it into your system, just make sure you use heat shrink or a water tight wiring cap

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.

Yes you can but if possible it's better to run a single wire to a central location and split them from there. If the wires go in opposite directions from the transformer then yes more than one can easily fit. I would tape them together then twist the ends so one doesn't slip out when tightening the screw. Hope this helps

First you have to ask the manufacturer if those are dimmable lights. If so you will have no problem the transformer.

I put a set on a dimmer and have had no problems without a transformer. Had the lights for several months now.

Yes. Simply choose 1 conductor from each wire to 1 terminal and the remaining 2 conductors to the other terminal. Be sure there are no loose strands of wire at the terminals that cause the 2 terminals to be in contact with each other. Tighten connections well. If the total number of watts for all of the bulbs in use (for this application each bulb rating is usually 5-20 watts) exceeds the power rating of the transformer (300 watts) the circuit breaker will trip. This is only an estimate. Due to many variables, the transformer may appear to only support about 80% of its rated output.

I thought I saw after scrolling- that other lights are available. You may need to drop a standard light, to put in a spot light - that transformer can only handle so much.

You should be able to use the same transformer and I believe this new light should give you a little bit more light than your old halogen and the beauty is you can change to any color. Great product
