[Caution: This plug-in electronic transformer is dimmable if it is plugged into one of the two sockets of a dual wall receptacle, for which only that socket is controlled by a dimmer switch. This will leave the other socket available with full power for other electrical appliances like toasters, mixers, TVs, and electric knives.]

Easy for ElectricianBy Dean from Cumming, GA on March 17, 2012 This simple plug in for low voltage allows the electrician to wire as usual and plug in the fixture later.Pros:Price I would recommend this item to a friend.Easy to order from PegasusBy Gary from New Berlin, Wisconsin on December 14, 2011 Great product. Used to replace defective indoor lighting transformer.Pros:Simple to use. Wall plug-in transformer.Cons:NoneI would recommend this item to a friend.12 volt transformer disasterBy Steve from Denver, CO on November 18, 2011 This 12 volt transformer that is supposed to produce 12 volts actually puts out about 6 volts. Pegasus refused to refund or replace. BEWARE!!! I tried to rate with zero stars but it thought I forgot to select. Had to pick one.Pros:NothingCons:A piece of junk.Merchant Response:I spoke with this customer over the phone right after receiving this product review. Unfortunately, it seems that the transformer he received was defective since it was not outputting 12 volts. We are shipping him a replacement transformer at no charge and including an additional transformer at no charge to ensure he gets one that will work for his project.
Pegasus Lighting stands behind the products that we sell and when there is an issue like this we replace defective items. Thankfully, it is a rare occurrence, but it does sometimes happen. Just a fact of life.
When this customer called us originally to communicate to us that the transformer was not working to spec we could have done a better job communicating to him that we would work with him to replace the transformer. I appreciate Steve telling me about this issue and it will be resolved.
