100watt 12/15volt LED AC landscape outdoor transformer with mechanical timer & photocell
100watt 12 or 15-volt LED magnetic AC dual-tap outdoor landscape transformer driver with mechanical timer & photo eye, manual reset primary & secondary breaker for outdoor low voltage lighting applications. Black powder coat steel enclosure. 120VAC input, 12VAC or 15VAC allows for short or long runs.
This table helps you determine the maximum number of lights that can be supported based on the wire run length for different types of landscape lighting: pathlights, spotlights, and in-set lights. As the wire run length increases, the maximum number of lights that can be powered decreases. Use this table to ensure your lighting setup stays within safe limits for optimal performance.
