Garden Spotlight, 12V LED Waterproof Landscape Lighting for Yard

When it comes to choosing the right power cable and transformer for your outdoor lighting setup, there are a few key factors to consider. Suppose you have a set of 4 spotlights (each 3W) and 2 path lights (each 4.5W) that need to be installed in your garden. How do you determine the appropriate cable and transformer?

Firstly, you'll need to add up the individual wattages of all the light fixtures. In this case, that would be 4 x 3W + 2 x 4.5W = 21W. This is the total fixture wattage you'll need to account for.

Next, consider the typical distance between the lights, which is usually around 6-8 feet, although closer or farther distances are also acceptable. Based on the layout, if you have a total of 6 lights with a combined wattage of 21W, you should choose a 75-100ft 16AWG power cable.

As for the transformer, it should be large enough to support the total fixture wattage, while also operating within approximately 80% of its rated capacity for optimal efficiency. In this scenario, a 45W transformer would be sufficient to power the 21W lighting setup.

It's worth noting that the product offerings may vary. For example, the 1-pack item includes a standard 2700K-5W bulb, while other brass spotlight series use a GU5.3 bi-pin base, requiring the purchase of a separate MR16 bulb. When selecting MR16 bulbs, be sure to choose a pointed bi-pin rather than a flat bi-pin, as the latter may prevent proper installation and cause damage to the fixture.

If you need to mount the lights on a tree trunk or outdoor wall, you'll also need to purchase a mounting plate with a 1/2 NPT thread size. Keywords like "Mounting Plate for Landscape Spotlight" can help you find the appropriate accessory.

Regarding pricing, purchasing multiple packs can provide better discounts than buying a single pack. The beam angle of the lights is not limited by the product itself, allowing you to choose different bulb angles to suit your specific needs.

The spotlights typically operate at a working voltage of 9-17V, so they usually require a 12V transformer to function properly.
