Pool Light Transformer

Description

A pool light transformer is an essential component for safely powering underwater lights in swimming pools. Here are some key points about pool light transformers:

1. Voltage Requirements: Pool lights typically operate at low voltages, such as 12V or 24V, to ensure safety. The transformer converts the higher mains voltage (e.g., 120V or 230V) to the lower voltage required for the pool lights.
2. Power Matching: The transformer must have sufficient power capacity to handle the total wattage of all the pool lights. It’s recommended to choose a transformer with a power rating of about 130% of the total wattage of the lights to account for voltage fluctuations and line losses.
3. Protection Level: The transformer should have a high protection level, such as IP65 or higher, to ensure it is waterproof and dustproof. This is especially important if the transformer is installed outdoors.
