Strong RFI with LED strips as radiators, short lifetime.
This is a replacement for one that lasted only a year. We have three in one house and two in another. They create so much radio frequency interference that I'm surprised the FCC allows their sale in the United States. Although my ham radio station is located on the other end of the house from these overpriced switching power supplies, and my antennas still further away, it is nearly impossible to work bands below 10 Mhz when these transformers are powered.So not only are they overpriced (you knew that before reading this review) but they create radio noise anybody with a cheap transistor radio can locate and one of my 5 failed after a hundred or so hours of use. The failed unit feeds only about 4 feet of tape.Buyer beware. We had these installed professionally before we found out how awful they are. The undercounter lighting they support, however, is excellent.

Produces strobe effect
I installed WAC InvisiLED Pro 2 2700k under cabinet strip lighting. The light color is perfect. The issue is this AC transformer. The Pro 2 works off either 24Vdc or 24Vac. This transformer steps down 120Vac to 24Vac. Seems perfect right? Wrong. LEDs turn on and off super quickly. With AC voltage you can see the 60Hz frequency so get a strobe effect when there is movement under these lights if you use this transformer. Using a dimmer makes it even worse. If you care about light quality save yourself some frustration and buy the WAC EN24100-277-RB2-T. It is large and more expensive but outputs 24Vdc. Despite the "277" in the part number it works fine with 120Vac. You need a low voltage 0-10V dimmer which is also more expensive, but worth it to avoid ruining what is otherwise a great lighting system.

Very Pleased With My Two Lighting Projects
An excellent product and very easy to install. Lots of lighting is possible with just one 90 watt transformer. Multiple runs in different directions are possible with the WAC "splitters". I used a Y splitter to go in two directions. If you add additional strips of lights make sure you get the same color temperature as you started with. Don't forget to buy the end caps for the end of each run. My only gripe is that you need to buy multiple two inch strips if you have areas being four, six, eight or ten inch runs and that becomes costly.

It's electrifying.
I used four of these in wall cabinets to convert from 120VAC to 24VDC. They are small enough to blend in and the 6 ft cord is just right to make it to the LED tape. Having an on/off paddle switch wasn't necessary for my installation, but it speaks well to the brand and I am happy.

Warning for dimmers
This transformer along with the WAC strip lights seem to be prone to issues with flickering while not under 100% power (when you have them dimmed).Yes, I've tried several different types of dimmer switches and yes, it still happens.My current research surrounds using a resistor on the circuit in order to provide an incandescent like current draw which may level out the flickering. We'll see.This is the second time these transformers and fixtures have produced this result in two separate homes. We are still attempting to resolve the issue in both locations.

did not work at all
I was unable to have this product installed for some time due to COVID, this weekend the electrician came to install and right out of the box, this did not work AT ALL, 76 dollars wasted, DO NOT buy from these folks

Works but how much it cost is a rip off.
Works but how much it cost is a rip-off. The WAC strip lights are over priced as well and not even that good.

Easy install
I am a 58 yo female health care provider and certainly no electrician, and I was able to install this system very easily. I am handy though. This is Pro 2 system 3000. Hardwired the transformer into an existing (thankfully) outlet above my cabinets. This system has been going strong for two years. I did not put it on a dimmer switch as I need to see and don’t need mood lighting when I am at the counter.
