Do I need a transformer for this light?

I would say yes this was the wrong light for my pool, a pool light here in Florida is 12V not 120V SO BE CAREFUL WHAT VOLTAGE YOU NEED.

Nope. It will tie into your existing light wiring the same as your old lamp.

mine is the 120 Volt version and if you do have this one then yes you need to get a transformer.

I've never been to Europe, so I am not familiar with a transformer. However it plugs into a standard 120V outlet...so if you use a transformer for a hair dryer, curling iron, etc. I would think you would also need one for this light.

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.

You will need a 12 volt transformer to provide power for the light. I bought a Moonrays transformer. The 8 watt light will be plenty light for a landscape sign. We bought 6 of these to project on the house and six four watt lights to shine up in trees. Your transformer needs to have enough wattage to cover the power demand of the sum of the lights.

First you have to ask the manufacturer if those are dimmable lights. If so you will have no problem the transformer.

Do the lights come with a transformer, if not how much does a transformer cost. For about four lights or so?

Yes they need transformer, look on the web site it has transformer and if more than one fixture they make a multi port module to plug them into then to a transformer, make sure total amount of lights dont exceed the transformer total wattage. Or you will burn out the transformer

The 31310-BK does not include a transformer. This light is designed to work with a 12V door bell transformer which must be purchase separately.

I don't think so. The transformer needs full power from your wall socket. You would insert a 12 volt dimmer between this device and your string of lights.

If I am not mistaken (from my experience), it came w/ a transformer to make the light run on 240V. If you want to hard wire it, make sure you don't cut 'that thing' away

It has a built in circuit breaker. And at least try not to overload it, with LED's. You should take your total potential watts of LED's and add a 20% safety margin. If total watt load will be 200 watts, you want a transformer with at least a 240 watt total load specification. Got it? Peter

You need a transformer & wire from transformer to light. Also 110v power source for transfomer.

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...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.

Everything is housed in the lights shell, there is no external transformer. I have 7 of these lights on my property and they are excellent, bright and low power consumption with a photo sensor that turns them off during the daytime.
