Outdoor Lighting Transformers

Outdoor Lighting Transformers

• Outdoor lighting transformers allow for the
  creation and installation of low voltage lighting
  systems.  They efficiently and safely convert
  line voltage (120V current) to low voltage (12V
  current.  By reducing power consumption in this
  manner, outdoor lighting transformers eliminate
  the risk of electrical shock to children and
  pets, and they reduce electrical usage and
  subsequently help generate reduced power costs.

• Outdoor lighting transformers are a favored
  accessory applauded by residential and commercial
  clients alike because they allow lighting systems
  to stay on all night and automatically shut
  lighting systems off when the sun rises.  When
  looking through our impressive selection today,
  pay careful attention to a number of key features
  that distinguish Residential Landscape Lightings
  outdoor transformers as superior, commercial
  grade units capable of powering any lighting
  system designed for commercial or residential
  outdoor lighting.

• Our selection of outdoor lighting transformers
  consists primarily of magnetic devices.  Magnetic
  units are adequate for tasks where the actual
  size of the transformer does not have to exactly
  correlate to the wattage of the fixtures being
  used.  Because many RLLD clients are landscaping
  and lighting design companies seeking equipment
  with which to serve their clientele, we
  categorize our inventory by wattage capacity to
  make purchasing a quick and simple process. 
  Residential clients looking to light their own
  home landscapes can determine the required
  wattage in their order by following the same
  simple rule of thumb that commercial clients of
  RLLD follow in choosing transformers for outdoor
  lighting.  The transformers wattage should total
  the sum of the wattage of all attached fixtures
  and accessories.

• We have several outdoor lighting transformers
  designed for both new systems and retrofitted
  upgrades to existing systems.  Many of these
  outdoor transformers control lighting systems
  with photometric timers.  These timers sense when
  dawn begins to break and power off the landscape
  lights as a result.  To protect vital components
  from elemental forces, outdoor lighting
  transformers are also made from very durable
  materials such as heavy extruded aluminum
  housing, and rain-tight enclosures to ensure a
  long life and to operate safely at high
  temperatures.

• Only in the case of certain decorative pieces
  like outdoor wall sconces and hanging outdoor
  pendant lanterns does one need the more advanced
  capabilities of electronic outdoor lighting
  transformer.  RLLD has a growing selection of
  these models, and they represent the cutting edge
  of transformer technology in the world of outdoor
  lighting.  They combine housings that are high
  temperature rated in lightweight and compact
  designs.  They also work equally well in new or
  retrofit applications and manufactured with
  electronic short circuit and overload protection
  built into their designs.  They are moisture and
  shock resistant too, and they consistently
  perform at 95 efficiency regardless of
  surrounding weather conditions.

• Virtually any business or individual benefits
  receives many great benefits from a complete or
  hybrid low voltage outdoor lighting system. 
  Pure line voltage systems are usually only
  necessary for exceptionally bright lighting such
  as that found in commercial security support. 
  Low voltage systems actually provide superior
  decorative light in many cases because they are
  less intense.  The opportunity for special
  effects and layered lighting techniques increases
  dramatically if one installs a low voltage
  outdoor lighting system or a transformer that
  adds a low voltage segment to an existing
  landscape design.  It is never a bad thing for
  any business or individual to save money with
  such a conversion to low voltage lighting.

• Investing in a low voltage lighting system can
  accrue immediate savings on every subsequent
  power bill.  In some parts of the country as
  well, certain businesses in remote or
  environmentally sensitive areas are governed by
  strict environmental laws regarding pollution and
  hazards to wildlife.  Having a low voltage
  lighting system that will not harm animals can
  conceivably prevent penalties and liabilities,
  and even help a companys public relations.  Some
  commercial insurance providers may also be
  willing to adjust rates favorably for clients on
  the basis that outdoor lighting transformers and
  low voltage outdoor lights represents a very
  significant and reliable reduction of fire
  hazard.  RLLD does not guarantee this, of course,
  but we do recommend at least looking into the
  possibility.
