• Transformer Wattages: our 150W electronic transformers can power 3-6 20-watt mini recessed lights; depending on the transformer some of our 300W electronic transformers can power 3-15 20-watt mini recessed lights while some of our other 300W electronic transformers can power 2-15 20-watt mini recessed lights. [Caution: Some of our electronic transformers will not operate properly unless they power at least 50 watts of lighting load and some will not operate properly unless they power at least 35 watts of lighting load.]
• Multi-Tap Connectors: multi-tap connectors provide an easy method to wire multiple fixtures to one electronic transformer. Multi-tap connectors come in two sizes; one connector (PNM-143) can accommodate up to 3 fixtures while the other connector (PNM-146) can accommodate up to 6 fixtures. Please order the multi-tap connectors in the Accessories tab.
• Dimmability: fixtures may be dimmed by connecting a dimmer to the LINE voltage side (primary side) of the transformer
