what you guys think.....of this

[nafis]

I have two of 180w flood light on (dawn to dusk) sensor, planning to install receptacle for Malibu Transformer on the sensor load side. Sensor rated for 1800w got it from HD. Load on transformer is 300w low volt light. Now the question is .will this work and what problem might i encounter beside the dawn to dusk issue.
Thank you

It'll work - but would suggest marking the recept with a long lasting label mentioning that it is photo controled.

I would check the sensor. Some may say incandescent only. The trany may be the issue not the wattage.

The Malibu lighting usually comes with it's own timer, if the feed will be interrupted by the sensor, then it's timer will need resetting. rbj
