 By Chad from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada on August 1, 2012 I am looking for a transformer such as this for my existing deck light system that I have recently added a few lights to and exceeded the capacity of my existing transformer. I have a photocell already so this transformer would fit the bill for what I need. The only question I have is if this transformer will work with an LED lighting system. I see in the description that it works with halogen and xenon lights however it does not mention LED. Please let me know, thank you. By Chris at Pegasus Lighting on August 2, 2012Answer:Chad:
This transformer is not designed to work with LEDs. You probably need an LED driver, but you should contact the manufacturer of LED deck lights to determine the appropriate power supply necessary for your system.By Dave from Philadelphia, PA on December 22, 2012 Can this be used for an outdoor lighting system if it is plugged into a covered GFI outlet?
By Tom from Pegasus Lighting on December 24, 2012Answer:Dave:
This 60W 12V Electronic Plug-In Transformer is intended to be used indoors. Will it work outdoors? Probably for awhile but it should NOT be used outdoors. Electrical products that are intended to be used outdoors are manufactured to much different standards and specifications. They must be engineered and designed to take into account constant changes in their environment such as dust, dew, frost, driving rain, small animals, prolonged rain, possible submersion in water, snow, ice, etc. Pegasus Lighting is, of course, taking a safe, conservative approach to your using electricity outdoors. We would encourage you to consult with an experienced licensed electrician in your area as well.By William from Louisville, KY on April 30, 2013 How many leads are enclosed in the detachable cable? I'm looking to replace a Wang WH-501EC transformer that has a three pin connector that attaches the wire to to the transformer. By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on May 1, 2013Answer:There are 2 leads in the cord.

Transformer

I bought it to replace a unit that had burned out. The whole transaction went smoothly enough, although I thought shipping and handling was pricey.

12 volt transformer disaster
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.
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.

Pros:Nothing
