Does the transformer have to be located at the end, or can it split the middle of the lamp array? Our box is in the center of the ceiling.

It can be anywhere as long as its not more than 12 inches from the lines vertically. I have 4 of them and the transformers are all close to the center. I like this because it gives an extra support for the wires.

The transformer doesn't have to be on the end. It can be anywhere along the lamp array. There is a little cable that runs from the main cables to the transformer. That distance is limited, but I the transformer can be in the middle of the run.

You can place the transformer anywhere along the wire that you'd like. We have 1 light on one side and 4 on the other side of the transformer.

It can be placed in the middle or at the end. Really it can be placed anywhere within 12 inches of the cable the lights are attached to.

It can be located anywhere along the span! Super easy to move or relocate if necessary. Hope this helps.

We located ours on the end and have no idea if you can split it in the middle. Best to ask an electrician, I think.

It can go anywhere. It has a pair of wires coming out that hook to the two wires that go from one end of the room to the other. It doesn't matter where you connect them.

The middle works fine. The transformer can be placed anywhere along the wires as long as the feeders can reach (about 12").

Not particularly. And a bit of advice..have someone install it or look at it. It may need rewired. Mine did. The transformer was faultily wired and burnt up the ground wire in the light. Thankfully my ceiling tile isnt wood.

yes it is hardwired in the ceiling. If you want to center different than directly over the original setup, you swag the chain over from where it wires up to the new spot you want it to center over. I returned this lamp because the glass diffuser on the bottom would not hang level.

yes, the recommendation is to only run up to 10 ft from transformer. You can run 2 strips ten ft in each direction from the transformer and get good lighting on 20 ft of lights. But you would need a second transformer for the 3rd set of lights.

I did not find that to be a problem. I left the transformer on the rocks and the setting to come on at dusk and sunk the lights about 6-8inches deep in the soil so nothing could be seen. I piled a couple of rocks around the lights for extra support being we are in the desert.

this is a self contained replacement and not intended to be installed in a fixture where a bulb once was. however, the (2) wires to the transformer are loose and could be connected to the wiring to your existing fixture. check local codes as to what would be required for a junction box.

Yes you can put 5 lights in one place and then 5 lights in another if your ground wire is long enough without using 2 transformers. If your wire isn't long enough you may splice on enough wire to make it so. Be sure the wire you are adding is the same size as the wire you are splicing onto or poof thar she goes. Donna

Good Luck with That! It's just a box... it's suppose to go into the electrical box but it really doesn't fit in the normal size boxes. I had to tie wrap mine to the lamp externally. There is no screw holes for mounting to anything!

The electric cords from the lamps join together in a plastic yoke that appears unified. Connected from there is 5' cord that has a plug. If you wanted to separate the lamps from the pole, by removing the handle from the T frame. Then it could be used to position on the floor or large shelf. I like the unit over all.

Hello there, If i remember correctly, this is installed with a steel bracket approx about 4-6 inches apart. One important factor i should mention about this product is the coupling of the main unit (the ceiling piece you can see here) with the bracket (the big circle portion at the top). If you'll notice from the last picture, about where the cylinder meets the "dome" for the lighting, you have to hold up the light and attach these onto the bracket. It may not look complicated but it was hard doing it by myself (as the light portion is quite heavy even without the crystal bulbs attached). Be aware you will have to attach the electrical along with holding up the light and finding the holes to the bracket all at the same time! Buy a strand of metal wire to attach through the holes during the process to hold up the light. Additionally, be aware of the hydrogen bulbs you place in the lamp. Make sure you buy lower wattage (and not the big bulky LED energy saving bulbs) as they may/may not fry the little transformer in the light. Hope this helps!

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.

I believe it needs to be after the splitter. I currently have it between the cable box and the splitter (TV-cable box-isolator-splitter-wall). Connected directly to cable box with a connector. I think I remember testing it between the wall and splitter and it didn't work.

Yes . As long as they are not wired in series .Meaning end to end . you have to buy the multiple splitter that plugs into the ir controller and have a 5 amp 12v dc power source .you will also need a roll of 4 conductor wire to reach the other far away locations .add as many rows of lights as you want as long as you don'r exceed the amperage of the transformer.lights will be dimmer when you reach that.i have seen a threeway splitter .but at the end of each of those three rows you can now add more lights to the end of each . As long as they don't exceed 5 meters in length on each of the 3 rows. 5 meters is a little over 16 ft in length. then all the lights control buy that remote will all be in sync when changing colors.

Hi....Unfortunately, because of the metal loop at the top of the lamp you are unable to interchange it as it is part of the body of the lamp. I purchased it for a small room in our house for the grandchildren and for the night stand and it works great. Not to bright. Well worth the money especially if you should loose power.

This transformer is for grounded systems. If yours only has two wires, you don't have a grounded system. You can still use it, just ignore the middle terminal.

There are a separate set of two terminals for each of two lines of lights. As it is 12 volt you can hook up your cable to whichever set you choose. Don't worry about which one goes where as long as you use the same set of terminals. Unless you run a transformer on the same line of a long run with a transformer on each end. I have done this and it takes some planning as the 120 volt transformers also need to be on the same circuit and wired alike or you will blow a transformer.

The photocell is connected (via wire) to the transformer but not attached to it. Therefore you can position it up to approx. 5 feet from the transformer and away from stray lighting that might affect the photocell. The transformer only goes on at dusk and off at daylight, hence no other timing is possible. If you plug the transformer into an outlet that is 'timed' you can get the desired schedule you are looking for. FYI, I have had these lights for a year now and they still work great. I have put 12 lights on the one transformer with no problems. When I bought them it was cheaper to buy two sets rather than extra lights.
