I know that dimmers for LED are different than for incandescent bulbs. Example: 600W max dimmer for incandescent, 150W max for LED.
My question is would the same difference be for a transformer, 120V to 17V, for landscape lighting. In other words, would you size the transformer the same for low voltage incandescent bulbs vs low voltage LED bulbs?
Customer wants 10-12 LED lights that are rated at 1.5W. These can run on 9V to 17V. The run from the transformer to the lights will be approx 25'-30'.
