60-Watt 12-Volt Electronic Low Voltage Transformer, Low Wattage Start

Description of 60-Watt 12-Volt Electronic Low Voltage Transformer, Low Wattage Start

This 60-watt 12-volt electronic low voltage transformer from Lightech can handle loads as low as 2.5 watts, so lower wattage bulbs can be used. Its safety features include electronic internal resettable protection, auto thermal regulation, auto thermal cut-off, and short circuit protection.

• Uses: used to power 12-volt halogen or xenon lighting systems [Caution: Not recommended for low voltage cable lighting systems that use cables suspended between walls to support and power decorative low voltage light fixtures hanging from the cables.]
• Maximum 60 Watts of Load: 60 watts maximum of lighting load. Unlike most magnetic transformers, these electronic transformers can be used to power the maximum wattage. [Caution: Always attach the load to the transformer before connecting the transformer to power.]
• Minimum Load: this transformer features a low wattage start allowing a minimum load down to 2.5 watts. Unless this transformer is powering at least 2.5 watts of lighting load it will not work properly.
• Input: 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 0.52 amps
• Input Wires: one black and one white 18AWG wire
• Output: 11.7 volts AC, 5 amps [Caution: a standard AC voltmeter cannot measure the output of a high frequency electronic transformer; instead, a special "true RMS" voltmeter must be used.]
• Output Wires: two blue 14AWG wires
• High Voltage: high temperature wire rating
• Dimensions: 1.3in(H) x 0.79in(W) x 2in(L)
• Casing: cast aluminum
• Dimmable: dimmable using a dimmer designed for an electronic transformer. Please see the Accessories tab to purchase a compatible dimmer. An electronic transformer can sometimes work with a standard incandescent dimmer. However, to ensure that your lighting system works effectively with the greatest dimming range we recommend that you use a dimmer that was specifically designed to control an electronic low voltage transformer. Additionally, using this type of dimmer will diminish the possibility of an audible hum when the dimmer is used – especially at low light levels. [Caution: dimmer should always be connected to the input side, 120V side, of a transformer.]
