Here's a scenario:
Wire used: 8-2 low voltage direct burial landscape lighting wire
Load: 150VA (qty. 3 MR16 bulbs @ 50W each)
Distance from Transformer to Load: approx. 50-75 ft.
Transformer specs: 120V input, 12.5V output
Can I get some input on a scenario like this and if my bulbs should be at there optimum level based on these specifics? Or should I be using transformers with multi-secondary taps. i.e. 13.5V, 14.5V etc.
Thanks!
