Every transformer I have seen for lv lighting is rated in watts not amps. I have never seen one rated 15 watts. I would double check your info. because usually they are 60 watt and larger.

Is the 1.3 amps the primary side of the transformer?

In my experience, transformers are rated in VA rather than W.
Or kVA rather than kW.

Thats true but some electronic transformers for lv lighting are listed in watts. They will also state that they need a min amount of wattage on the circuit to activate the transformer.
