Types of Landscape Lighting Transformers

Landscape lighting transformers are used to safely power low-voltage outdoor lighting systems. The landscape lighting transformers on the Sprinkler Warehouse page are primarily electronic models designed for low-voltage lighting systems. These transformers offer features such as built-in timers, photocells, and digital programming for automation and control. Many are weather-resistant and come in various wattages to suit different landscape sizes. Some of our models also support Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity for smart control.

Landscape Lighting Transformer FAQs

What does a landscape lighting transformer do?

A landscape lighting transformer reduces standard household voltage (usually around 120V) down to a safe 12V or 15V for low-voltage outdoor lighting. This allows you to safely power landscape lights without risk of electrical hazards. Landscape lighting control systems are essential for protecting both your lighting system and your home's electrical infrastructure.

Can I use one transformer for all my lights?

Yes, you can use one transformer for all your lights as long as its wattage capacity exceeds the total wattage of the connected fixtures. Using a single transformer simplifies your setup and can be very cost-effective. Just make sure to account for voltage drop on longer runs and use the proper wire gauge.

Where should I install my transformer?

Install your landscape lighting transformer in a dry, accessible area, ideally near a power source. It should be mounted off the ground on a wall, post, or structure, and placed in a location shielded from direct weather exposure, even if it’s weatherproof. Avoid placing it near areas with frequent water spray or heavy foot traffic.
