Installation of these post caps is a simple process. However, you may find it beneficial to contact a local electrician or handyman.

How many lights can I install on a transformer?
Up to 50 lights. For further detail, read the transformer instruction sheet included with the transformer.

What type of bulb is used, and where do I get replacements?
Most use a standard automotive brake light bulb, and can be purchased at any auto parts store. Some have LED lights, which are designed to last a very long time.

Can a dimmer switch be used?
Dimmer switches are not effective on low voltage lighting.

Can the light output be reduced on the low voltage light?
A 7.5 watt bulb is available to reduce the light output if desired.

Some lights appear dimmer than others, what do I do?
This is a result of wiring issues, primarily due to longer distances from the transformer (200 or more feet). There are several different wiring schemes to address and/or correct this. Please refer to the transformer instruction manual to correct.

I have low voltage landscape lighting; can I add deck lights to this?
Generally, the answer is no. It is best to start from scratch, for two reasons: First, the transformer likely has less wattage output than is necessary for the these deck lights lights. In addition, landscape lighting usually uses 18-gauge wire, which is too light for the these deck light products. Using this will cause a drop in wattage, making the lights appear dimmer.

Can I put the lights on an inside switch?
Yes. To do so, the outlet that the transformer plugs into must be wired to the desired switch. The transformer is then placed in "manual mode", operated by the light switch.
