Do you have to piont remote at transformer to work? I want to hid the transformer behind our wood framed bed mirrored canopy- is this possible?

No you do not have to point directly at the transformer. These are using radio frequencies that bounce off so you have a wide range. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. This is a radio frequency transmitter. I have installed 5 of these to control led light strips. One is behind a refrigerator, 3 outdoors in water resistant enclosures, and one inside my truck bed behind the liner. They work great. Range is at least 25 feet. Mirrored canopy? Nice!

I really do not know what kind of transformer that the light needs. It is electronic. My husband put it up for me with no problem and I do love it.

All you have to do is plug in power switch to wall outlet, plug in desired item to power switch, make sure that ON button is pressed on power switch, make sure that item itself turned on and then use remote by pressing the corresponding button (1, 2 or 3). I will check to see if I still have the actual instructions to check if I missed anything.***8/5/13: Sorry --- did not find instructions. I hope you were able to get your devices going. :)

We have ours plugged in. There is a small transformer. I don't have the directions anymore so I can't say if it had any alternate power possibilities. I wonder if you might be able to contact the manufacturer to ask. BTW - we still love it.

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 could put a fader inline on the low voltage side. That's what I did and it worked great, faders have an off position so that works out real good. or you could plug the transformer into a wall switch. just make that wall switch is controllable.Hope this helps.

Only if the transformer is bad. I accidentally dropped my transformer & something was clunking inside - this led to a dead battery and a bad transformer.

Can u please check your voltage from your electrical outlet or try another outlet because i bought this wood remote and works great and i so impress by the perfomance i bought another one so ensure you have a proper ground also ensure the tape at th back of the remote has be complete remove if you have done that remove the cover at the back of the remote with a phillip screw driver and ensure the battery is in place once again i have bought this woods remote and it works with my lights,fan,blender,and as a senior-Technician it is the best i give it five stars.

I'll ask my husband (not here right now), but my thought is that if the transformer dies, do you really want it hard wired? That's what happened with our previous lights. The lights were fine but the transformer died.

Yes you can. Remove the small on and off switches from the clock. Leave the timer in the "on" position and use the light switch to cycle the transformer.

I did not use any transformer for this fixture. You can buy a regular dimmer.

the company sells the transformer separately. You can also buy it from Ledwholesalers for 15.75 with prime shipping here on amazon. Then the light and transformer have to be wired together. I get my electrician to do it , but if you know how to connect two wires together you can do it yourself. I love these lights. But I do not submerse them under water, so I have had no problems. I can't say if they work good under water.

Not with the standard transformers supplied.. you would need a magnetic transformer... quite expensive... The low voltage three way dimmer available from the company and included with some sets, works well.

If installed properly the transformer does not hum or vibrate loudly that I can notice? If you plan to also use a dimmer make sure you you get a dimmer made for LEDs otherwise it will hum or not work at all. Also consider installing the transformer somewhere in the circuit away from where you might hear it like near the main panel.

Almost! The transformer is must be wired to the board. Use care when doing this as the xformer is not always properly marked. A voltmeter is strongly recommended to identify proper voltages. You will have a filament low voltage and a B+ high voltage from the xformer secondary. Good luck.

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 have never had that situation.. But, the units work off regular 110V. outlets that are "hot". If the units are energized, the remote will work, weather from your car or inside your house.
