This really helped me out! Thank you for sharing the expertise!

[@ePoolSupply]

No problem! Happy to help!

[@leslemasters461]

Can a photocell be wired into this transformer to control on/off switching?

[@ePoolSupply]

No

[@MucaroBoricua]

If you life in Florida, use a rubber grommet on the 12V cable hole so lizards (anoles) and cockroaches don't get in there and end up electrocuted, like what happened to me a few years ago.

[@ePoolSupply]

That's a great tip. Appreciate the feed back.

[@sparq9358]

Thanks for posting this informative video! Is it possible to have the toggle switch on the low voltage side instead of toggling the whole transformer to change colors?

[@ePoolSupply]

Yes, Just be sure your low voltage side doesn’t cross over any high voltage wires, there may be interference causing the colors not to change properly. Hope this helps!

[@sparqify]

@@ePoolSupply Thanks for the response - appreciate the great info!!

[@chrismilani1073]

When connecting multiple lights, can you just wire nut all together? So three white to the yellow wire, three black to the orange?

[@ePoolSupply]

Yes, you can!

[@joer5000]

Why didn’t you use the gray conduit for the black low voltage cable to protect from the sun or damage?

[@ePoolSupply]

That's a great question but I'm not to sure why the owner did that. If he were around I would ask but he is unavailable. Our apologies.

[@louisriddle9855]

The lights associated. Can they be replaced without snaking them? I think they are pentagram globright?

[@ePoolSupply]

Unfortunately no, there is no other way.

I have 120v pool the niche is metal, its not grounded in inside, but i think its a copper pipe that runs to the timer and that grounded with the pool pump is that ok then

[@ePoolSupply]

Hi there, if the niche is metal usually the backside of it is bonded. Hope this helps!

[@mcr6150]

@@ePoolSupply thank you

[@chrimsson]

Great video! I might do this too. Do you think there's any issue running a smart switch between the transformer out and the pool light if the switch is designed for normal 120V/15A? The load will be a 12V/25W Edison LED. I could just use the switch between the GFCI out and the transformer in I suppose.....

[@ePoolSupply]

Hi there, Usually the switches require 120 V and will not work with transformed 12 V power. Hope this helps!

[@tulio3571]

Hi there if you were connecting a Pentair Color Sync Controller 618031 , would it go before the gfi or after? thank you.

[@ePoolSupply]

after the gfi

[@tulio3571]

@@ePoolSupply thank you.

[@kurtmailloux]

I have the ps300. It says 300w max. I have it power sunshelf lights but I want to add some landscaping lights can I use this? Keeping it under 80 percent of 300w. Can any generic low voltage light be connected to it? Thanks

[@ePoolSupply]

Yes, absolutely.

[@itzlanez940]

hello i have a question my current light is 77xxxxxx watts 350 volts 120 t-4 should i buy the pentair 300 watt or it doesn't matter? or will this cheaper one work? Suraielec 100W Pool Light Transformer ?

[@ePoolSupply]

We suggest the 300 watt.

[@couldibwearingmoreclothes]

Is it generally OK to power 2 lights, say 2 12v 36w LEDs using the same 120v to 12v - 100w transformer? Or is it better or required individual transformer per light?

[@ePoolSupply]

Try to keep everything at 80% capacity of the transformer. So 80% of the 100w transformer is 80w. Therefore your 2 - 36w lights equal 72w total. You should be good! Hope this helps.

[@mcr6150]

Can i use my old 120v pool light fixture with a 12v led bulb?

[@ePoolSupply]

Hello, There are light fixtures that support 12v, but there are to many variables for us to determine if that is your case. We'd suggest reaching out to the manufacture for further support and clarity. Hope this helps!

[@yoguito9]

A pool light should be wire in 13 or 12v

[@ePoolSupply]

Hi there, It will normally come ready to wire in either 12v or 120v. Hope this helps!

[@mcr6150]

Ok i want to ask another ?

[@ePoolSupply]

Fire away.
