Generic Landscape Lighting Transformer

[Mike Scarry]

Does anyone know where I can find a generic outdoor rated landscape lighting transformer. 300W will be plenty - 120VAC primary, 12VAC secondary. 13-15V secondary taps would be nice, but not necessary. I found some good landscape lights at landscapelightingworld.com, but their 300W transformer is $197, and has bells and whistles I don't need, like photocell and timer receptacles. Plus, it is huge. Has anyone used a generic transformer for their landscape/low voltage lighting? Thanks in advance for the help.

They make 300W electronic transformers that you can stick in a 4x4 box. And they run for 40-50 bucks. Plus 10-15 for a 4x4 PVC box.

Go to home depot if you want low end items.

Buy low, sell HIGH. Good business plan! Make even more on volume.


Unlike my business plan which is buy high sell low and make it up on volume.

Big Orange sells the Malibu (low end) xmfrs. Not sure you'll get the 13-15v option. You'll probably have to go to a supply house to buy a Hadco 300 watt xfmr that has 11-13v taps. Not sure how much it is but it's a pretty good unit. Nightscaping and Kitchler also make landscaping xfmrs.
