. Does the transformer need time to 'charge' to step up? What do the "PW" and "Full" lights indicate?

There is no time needed to charge the transformer. Once power is available at the front end, power is also transformed.PW indicates 5V available for USB slot. Once an usb device is fully loaded, the tranformer indicates FULL as in fully loaded.

These don't have batteries so theres no charging. It uses a transformer that can handle multiple input voltages and splits the voltages into 120 and 240 voltages its a transformer with a simple circuit board to control the inputs and outputs not sure if reconditions the outputs for Hz and spikes in voltages. PW is for power to show it has power not sure what the full is for.

There are some LED lights on the unit which let u know when it's fully charged but if u just leave it in your car the charge runs out so you should check it every week or so and top it up if it needs it

NO. There is no power is work when you put in 200W transformer This is last question I answer you after I am not explain why this light is not working.

I believe so, but can't answer for certain. In my case, I just replaced the old fixtures, clamping in to the existing low-wattage line, and had no reason to check out the transformer. My previous experiene with low-watt lights required a transformer. Wish I could be more difinitive for you.

There is a voltage issue, sadly. You need a step-down transformer, which is what I use.

Actually, I don't know if it was pre-charged since I just connected it and left it. My electricity will have to go out before I know if it was charged. Thank you for asking cause I need to check it out! Sorry I cannot answer your question.

At least yours works. The OTTlite I had quit working because it had a faulty transformer. I thought it was the bulb, but after spending $15.00 for a new one, discovered that it was the transformer. OTTlite never responded to my requests, had no replacements available, no suggestions on repairs...nothing. A transformer of the correct voltage from an electrical supplier cost nearly $30.00. I trashed the crappy OTTlite and bought a similar light from Lowe's for about $20.00. It has worked fine...no problems.

I am assuming you are running this into an Intermatic transformer, right? It works well for me but I Amazon won't let me upload a diagram. If you are following the same diagram I received with the switch and it isn't working I would double check everything and then contact Pentair. Check and see if your transformer powers your low voltage lights without the switch. If so you might have a bad switch. Just to be sure, you do have compatible LED lights, right? The switch does not generate the colors it just makes things easier to select patterns.

1 transformer...depending how the switches are set and what set of plugs used, the transformer will either step up 120 to 240 volst or step down 240 to 120 volts....the unit works great in my application.Joe

I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged". I then unplugged it and checked the battery level, but it instantly showed 0V. So that told me the "full charge" reading was false and the charger was giving me that reading while the battery seemed like an "open circuit" and was not accepting power yet. So I did leave it plugged in and within 1/2 hour it began dropping the reading to show 65% charged or such which I knew was more realistic. So despite getting that "full charge" reading off the bat, it does need the charge time.

Someone else asked this question on this blog and someone answered that they should purchase a "step-up" transformer. I hope this helps.

Ensure you are using the proper capability of the transformer. It goes both up and down, ensure you are stepping down. That's about all I can say.

I can't post a photo. The transformer and plug adaptor is included in the power pack.

If all the lights flash on and off, then it's fully charged. But you can tell by unplugging it and if all the lights up to 100% light then it means it's 100% charged.

My indicator does the same , but stops once I start moving forward. ( not sure why ) . My indicator does not give me a true reading to the battery charge . The lights run from green to red , red being that you require a charge . On mine I get the level down by three to four lights ( never reaches the red and I need to charge her up. ( and the batterys are brand new ) !

the model I have you would have to use the transformer to step it up this is a 110 unit but you might be able to order the correct unit for your voltage needs you have to check with Amazon

It does have this feature. I ordered two kits. One transformer died within a couple months, the other is fine.
