Have and old pool light that has been leaking and throwing the GFI.
It runs off of normal household current and is wired as such.
Ive decided to change over to LED and have found a good sealed unit, but i need a transformer.
this is what i need as told to me by the sellar of the light:
"The supply needed is either 12 volts AC or DC, the lights will work fine with either, although if more than 2 are installed it must be AC to allow them to synchronize correctly. These larger 546 LED lights draw about 2 amps max or around 25 watts per light. You can use a supply with a higher wattage rating as long as the voltage output is 12 volts. I have been advised that the Intermatic brand of transformers is one of many brands of power supplies supplied in the US which are suitable and may be one option."
So the intermatics are separate boxes and seem to be geared towards landscape lighting, and a little pricy. I understand this is a safety thing, i dont want to skimp merely to skimp but it seems i should have other options. I.E
Rather than add another box to the system, id rather Hard-wire a transformer into the Jbox, but i can really find a suitable transformer i think i just don't know where to look or exactly what im looking for.
suggestions?
