if I purchase two sets can I just use one of the transformer for the 12 lights? is it strong enough because I only have one outlet.

Yes you can but what I would do with each spotlight is cover the lense and seal it to teh cover with Clear RTV. I have numerous units that require repair due to moisture ingress.

1st check max watts for day time plugs , if your 3 lights are under that wattage ,i wouldn't see why you can't use a a splitter with more outlets plugged into 1 outlet.Product spec only states max wattage "15 amp 120 volt 60 Hz (1875 watt max.)" and another option is to buy 2

I have not used my yet but they plug into each other so that you would just need one plug. I bought 3 sets of lights. I am not sure if there is a limit to the number is sets you can plug into the single outlet.

Due to the nature of electricity the only difference between having one or 10 is the amperage that the line takes. So to answer the question you can have just one on the line connected to the adapter or you can connect each light separately if you would like to (not really recommended due to the need of wire) just make sure the amperage of the adapter can handle whatever load you put on it. However, the 20 pieces should work on just about any 12v adapter.

Yes they need transformer, look on the web site it has transformer and if more than one fixture they make a multi port module to plug them into then to a transformer, make sure total amount of lights dont exceed the transformer total wattage. Or you will burn out the transformer

You need a 12v transformer. Mine are direct wired transformers that I have up to four lights wired to.

Any 12 volt transformer will work. I use a Malibu unit that powers All of my 12 volt lights. I currently have about 25 lights around myHome

You can connect as many lights you wish as long as you don't exceed the wattage of the transformer. In one situation, when I realized I was approaching the wattage of the transformer, I replaced the seven watt bulbs with four watt bulbs, which enabled me to add a few more light fixtures. Add the the wattage of each bulb, then compare it with the wattage stated on the transformer.

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

Best to contact the manufacturer. Some transformers need more of a load than the LEDs provide. We bought 2 different sets of cable lights. One transformer could use them the other could not.

I have an electrical engineering degree but have changed career years ago. Unfortunately, technological knowledge has slipped. However, I gave some thought concerning any potential issue if I were to use a low voltage transformer (AC of course) to power these lights. I suppose powering them with with an AC transformer may cause more degradation and shorten the life of the bulbs but other than that, I could not come up with any reason on why they won't work. So, I bought eight to put into my two lamp posts and they seem to work fine with the transformer as a power source. I'm not sure if running the lights with a DC source would produce more lumens but with my transformer, four bulbs in one lamp post still seem dark, definitely not the claimed 75W equivalent (someone already claimed that he measured the power consumed to be less than 5W instead of 9W). However, for my purpose with the lamp posts being decorative, the lumens produced seem adequate as I do have other light sources, if needed. Concerning your question of will they last, I don't expect the degradation to cut the life of the bulb by half but have no data to back up my claim.

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

I don't think so. The transformer needs full power from your wall socket. You would insert a 12 volt dimmer between this device and your string of lights.

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.

You could I guess, but I think you can find the same light in 110 though. I just looked at the light I had in the pool before and got the 12 so I could put it in and be done, as not to have to rewire or anything.I'm not the maker/seller nor am I a licensed electrician, but if you want/need to go the transformer route I don't see an issue

Yes, the connectors work well with existing 2 wire 12 volt wire. I bought 20 lights and used my existing transformers and wire.

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.
