Can I connect two sets of these lights together (for a total of 12 lights) and use one transformer for a longer run?

My son's response is that he thinks the transformer changes the current from AC to DC and drops the voltage down. With DC, it will only power a certain number of bulbs before all will start to be dimmer. He thinks that 12 on one transformer would be dim or not work at all. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can hook up to fifteen lights. We changed our whole outside to LED lights by Brinkmann. We have fifteen contected and have had no problems for the last five years. Excellent product.

That depends how many lights you have and how long the runs are. I have my transformers loaded to near their rated capacities and runs of around fifty feet so I used 12 gage wiring. Many get by with 14 gage. Of course, if one uses LED lamps, the loading on the transformers is correspondingly low, so 14 gage would likely suffice.

IF they are 12V 4 watt? Then Yes, just remember to add up all the watts (each lights wattage) and be sure the total does not exceed the transformer wattage.

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.

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

Without making any electrical changes to the light, you won't be able to slave them together. I am almost certain though, that you can have multiple lights respond to a single remote. If the lights are physically close together you can probably have them all change at the same time with the single remote. If they are too far apart you will need to move the remote to point it at each light individually. For what it is worth, this is a great light for the money.

I am not sure - since they are hot hardwired together - I would assume you'd have to have separate remotes. We only have one set. The manufacturer should be able to resolve this. We like the lights very much.

There are a separate set of two terminals for each of two lines of lights. As it is 12 volt you can hook up your cable to whichever set you choose. Don't worry about which one goes where as long as you use the same set of terminals. Unless you run a transformer on the same line of a long run with a transformer on each end. I have done this and it takes some planning as the 120 volt transformers also need to be on the same circuit and wired alike or you will blow a transformer.

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divideby your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire)This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

I'm sorry. But are you sure you want to put strobe lights in your landscape. I really don't know if these would be wired into a 12 transformer for your landscape. I would write the company to find out.

it depends on the type of controller. I have a 12v switch with hard-wire connecters and buttons to control the type of lights I need on. So yeah you can connect 2 or more sets of lights

They are connected together. Mine were 12" apart from each other on the string. You can connect 2 strings to 1 transformer.Hope that helps.

I'm running 22 lights in line now off of one power supply. You can get an extra set without the power supply and add them to your string. If you want to run more than 24, then I recommend splitting the power source and using two power supplies.

Wire all lights in parallel. A 6amp transformer will run all 5 without any heat problems.

This is just a 4-strand, color coded wire bundle. You will need to install the correct connection fittings and if you are connecting more than two strings of LED's you will need to use a transformer. I don't have info on what one to use, but if read the product info they will tell you how may strings can be piggy-backed and the transformer needed for addition lines.

You can use for more than one light as long as it does not exceed the manufacturers recommendations. If you are using 12 volt lights you MUST also use the Intermatic 120vAC to 12 vDC transformer.

They are connected the same way, unless the circuit your current light bar is on can't handle the addt'l 2A per light added, in which case you would need a relay and separate circuit, with the relay energized by the existing light bar circuit assuming you want them energized simultaneously.
