Roughly how many low voltage outdoor lights can I run off of a 150W 120v to 12v transformer, 300W 120v to 12v, and 600W 120v to 12v.
Do I need a transformer for every couple of lights to make sure they are all equally the same brightness/dimness?
Anyone have any good websites about this type of information?
THANKS!
These lights will be used on my deck off the back of the house for evenings...
Plan which lights you want to use first, then buy a transformer accordingly. Many lights depending on their usage (accent vs. spotlight) range from ~10 to 50 watts, respectively. Add the wattages of each bulb/fixture, then add about 10% to allow for the possibility of expansion in the future. The transformer output in watts should be equal to or above your number.
Many home improvement stores have displays which demonstrate the brightness of each model.
You typically only need one transformer (provided the output is large enough, and all lights are in a continuous run). Use a large-gauge wire to eliminate resistance, which causes lights far from the transformer to dim.

you can if the led is the same voltage as the bulbs now in use. You are already saving energy by using low voltage lighting so i would not change. Leds are pretty expensive
I'm located in Los Altos, CA and am looking for a good person who can fix them.
How much are you willing to pay and do you need a licensed individual? I am not licenced but have wired new outlets in my garage, fixed outdoor post lights at work, replaced many ballasts, and much much more electrical work. Perhaps it is something we can discuss.

Home Remedies: Benefits of Low Voltage Landscape Lights
Low voltage landscape lights make the front porch safer and undeniably more attractive.

Outdoor Lighting: Brighten the Night
Hardwire outdoor lighting is one of two ways to efficiently brighten the night; the other being solar lighting . Conventional outdoor lighting is more material and labor-intensive, and thus more costly, but it may be the only option for your residence or business location. If your home is sited such that the areas requiring illumination do not have sufficient (8-10 hours of direct sunlight each day) solar access, you're a prime candidate for hardwired lighting.
Outdoor lighting will generally satisfy any basic security or aesthetic needs you may have. You may use either 110 volt ac or 12v dc power to run the lighting; more often than not, the ac power option is the way to go with commercial properties, but 12 dc is great for home use. The best part is that the low-voltage equipment is really easy to install, making it ideal for a homeowner. No need for a commercial contractor for this project. You can install the underground wiring with a shovel. Sweet.
