Can this be used in a Landscape lighting transformer thats mounted in the garage? the transformer is 600 watts

Sure you can, it's ideal for this kind of purpose. That's exactly what I would use it for. We've had excellent results with this particular timer, and as far as I'm concerned it's the best one on the market, based on extensive experience.

I assume you have a low voltage landscape lighting system with a 120vac input to the transformer. This timer should work well to feed power to the transformer on a programmed schedule. The timer plugs into a 120 vac outlet and has a 3-prong controlled outlet for powering your transformer.

I assume you want to use this timer to turn on and off the power to the transformer? If so, I don't see why this timer wouldn't work for that - go for it!

The rating on the unit and packaging is 1000W, so as long as there is a wall outlet available nearby, and the transformer can be plugged into the unit, then the unit could be used in sequence.

It depends on what voltage your transformer puts out. It would have to be your standard 120v like your house outlets. This would not work on any more or less. If you can get that 120v output, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TIMER! I've been using timers for 15yrs for pet reptile lighting. This is definitely the best one. Only a couple out there have the manual override that doesn't stop the scheduling.

I have this unit connected to an outdoor power strip. The transformer for the low power landscaping light is plugged into the power strip. It all works great!

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.

No! Too dangerous, do not use a transformer that is designed for interior lighting in an exterior application.

Should work but ck the wattage output on the landscape supply may be a bit to high

As long as it physically fits in your fixture, I don't see why not? As mentioned in other responses you will have to deal with our yankee plugs. The response saying that the "ampage" [sic] is too low, seems to have little basis: what you need to worry about is that you stay within the power rating of the transformer. If you are looking at this transformer, I assume your "picture lights" have 12 volt bulbs with a rating less than 75 watts. The fixtures I replaced transformers in have 3 20W 12V bulbs....

I suspect no problem as long as lights require 24v. Probably don't draw too much power so well within the wattage of this transformer. Andrew

It depends on the watts used by the fixtures. I have 11 10-watt path lights on mine and they're nowhere close to maxing the transformer out. It can go up to 200 watts with any combination of lights, so long as they stay below that max. Be sure to get wiring that can handle whatever load you end up with too -- and get fifty feet more than you think you'll need!

Yes....it is designed to connect to landscape-lighting wire which comes from a transformer...the bulb needs 12v power and would not work if you plug it directly into a regular outlet.

Yes, use this for outdoor low voltage landscape light fixture. It is as good as the one sale for $5.00 something per bulb in either Home-deport or Lowe locally

Yes you need a transformer for this light. Plug the transformer into your yard outlet and power this light from the transformer. Otherwise you will destroy this light.

The lightbulbs used are not halogen or led. The wattage for the transformer I have ranges from 7 - 11 watts using the wedge base bulb.

This 120 watt power transformer can replace the DA-120 which also produces 120 watts. You should determine how many lights you will use, add up the wattage. This will give you a minimal base to start. If you think you'll add more lights/fixtures in the future or perhaps higher wattage bulbs, purchase a larger transformer. The total wattage along the run determines the power of the transformer plus add about 10% for the loss in the line if over 50ft., or if you have a large amount of lights within the line. Hope this is what you are asking about?

Its a 60W max transformer so I wouldn't think there would be a problem with 12 watts.

It depends on your transformer. For instance my transformer is 88 watts and I have 10 Malibu lights, so I use 7 watt bulbs. Keep total wattage at or below total wattage of your transformer.

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

Probably not. I found it only able to run a low wattage transformer. You have to check the wattage of your appliance.
