Intermatic PX100 Pool Light 100-Watt Safety Transformer, Beige

Good product, just a bit pricey

Works great. It was very easy to wire and hook up. I plug this into a photocell timer so it comes on at dusk and shuts off six hours later. Using this product so I can use low-voltage lighting around my swimming pool

I purchased this transformer for LED lights that I have installed around the pool. In some of the reviews, the transformer was described as noisy and making a loud humming noise. I was nervous about purchasing this transformer because of those reviews, but I went ahead with the purchase anyway since there aren't many low voltage transformers that are available for installing lights close to a pool for safety reasons.I went ahead and installed this transformer on the back of my pool automation panel. It was very easy to both install the transformer and wire both the high voltage and low voltage side. There are simple instructions included with the transformer. I have Sixteen 5 Watt low voltage LED lights connected to it, so I'm getting close to the transformers maximum rated output, but the transformer has no issues with those LED lights, even when they are connected on about 150 feet of low voltage wiring. Once installed and the unit is operating, there is very little noise from it, even though I have 80 watts of LED lights connected. There is a small amount of noise, but nothing to the level that has been described by some of the reviews. Admittedly, this transformer is about 60 feet away from my main pool area, but even standing close to the transformer when its operating, it really isn't that loud, I guess if it was located close to a sleeping area you might just be able to detect the noise when it is operating, but even then I doubt that it would be annoying. So go ahead and purchase this item, it's rugged, well made and doesn't make that much noise. I'm 100% satisfied with this item.

Works perfectly with my two 35watt led pool lights off my Pentair easytouch system. Just be careful how you wire them. The diagram and instructions show both 12v and 13v options. Not well explained or diagramed. Blew my first one up. Always always always wire white to white and then black to black or blue. I wired my replacement for 12v but I'm still reading 12.7 at the light.
