I bought three sets of these. I'd like to use only 2 transformers. Can I plug 5 into one and four into the other?

Those little transformers are rated for 12volts at 500ma. I'm running four units on one transformer for the past two years, sixteen hours a day with no problem. Hardly warm to the touch. Five units shouldn't be a problem.

IF they are 12V 4 watt? Then Yes, just remember to add up all the watts (each lights wattage) and be sure the total does not exceed the transformer wattage.

Yes, as long as you don't go over the transformer limit. You usually want to give the total wattage some extra on your transformer, so don't max it out to the full amount it will allow. I usually like to leave 4 watts remaining. Maxing the transformer out to it's full capacity makes it heat up more and not perform as well too. Good luck. :)

Yes, just run the wires for the mini splits through the current transformer donuts. Make sure that you have the same legs together.

I would think it depends on the power (Watts) of both together. If they together need less then 200, then I think it should work. Remembre you should not run transformers on their maximum, so if you buy a 200, then I wouldn't plug in more then lets say 180..

Not 100% sure but I don't think you want to try that. Transformers in this class don't usually handle that too well if at all. Also, if this might involve international adapters, you should never use them in a permanent application, they are temporary.

Yes you can dependent on the transformer. I use these professionally as a landscape lighting professional and there are some brands of transformers that it will not fit in, so check how much room you have.

Hi, yes you can this controller gives you the option to have multiple power heads but it is up to you how many you want to connect. Just going a little bit further from the question, the idea is to have at least 2 without you having to turn them on and off.

Yes, you can. I have this transformer the whole time for my summer vacation last year with no problem, I also brought some electronic stuff back and brought another transformer and use here in US.

Wattage should be negligible. At .1 amp input and .3 amp output, I doubt this is going to challenge even the smallest of transformers.

I wanted the same thing, thinking however I'd switch the halogens out for LED. Didn't like the look and the transformer for some reason would make the lights flash after it got warm. Not entirely sure since I had 10 lights at 4 watts each, for a total of 40 and the transformer is designed for 100 watts. You can "build your own" with other transformers and lights, but that makes it very pricey $$$$ fast. The simple answer is no, you can't go beyond whatever your transformer is rated. It becomes a fire hazard.

You can't run 5 strips in series, the power brick, or dc converter will not supply that many leds with adequate power. The most that might work together would be two of these strips. Voltage drop becomes an issue with any more than that which could create an electrical hazard. Like another person suggested, go to a lighting professional if your looking to light up a very long run.

Lisa you can only put as many pendants as u want as long the transformer wattage(300w) is more than total wattage of all your pendants otherwise(6 of 50 watts pendants) u will blow ur transformer. check this out: http://www.lightingdirect.com/kovacs-gkth1001-50w-xenon-mini-pendant-head-from-the-gk-lightrail-collection/p308090.enjoy

You could daisy chain these if you have some electrical experience. You'd need to purchase 3 sets to make it work.

Four and Four. You could still use a plug-splitter if two of your outlets are low current.

You can add strips, and they come with the needed connection. You are limited only by the output of the transformer I think...

you can only put 4 different unit's into it, but out to 2 different tv's hope this helps
