The Kichler 15E60BK Economy Series 60-Watt Transformer is an economical choice for small jobs or single specialty piece applications. These Economy Series Transformers feature a black polymeric enclosure that resists corrosion. This transformer offers easy-connect terminal blocks, an on/off/auto switch, and an on/off switch. The 15E120BK model also includes an auto-resettable in-line primary overload protection. Furthermore, there is a thermal cut-off on the primary side and a thermal reset breaker on the secondary side.

Your transformer selection will depend on the lighting job at hand, including the size of the design layout, watts required, and length of runs. Voltage drop will result in your lamps decreasing in brightness the farther they are from the transformer, so keeping runs as short as possible will minimize voltage drop and maximize light output. To calculate voltage drop, use the equation: A (length of wire) x B (total number of watts for all lamps on that wire run) = C (cable constant - determined by wire size). The cable constant for each wire gauge is as follows: 10 gauge-11920, 12 gauge-7500 (no more than 250 watts or 200 feet), 14 gauge-3500 (no more than 200 watts or 150 feet), 16 gauge-2200 (no more than 150 watts or 100 feet), and 18 gauge-1380.

This fixture is sold one per package and is UL rated for wet locations, making it suitable for use with submersible fixtures. Unlike many others, Kichler Landscape Lighting Transformers feature epoxy encapsulation for greater protection and performance, as well as secondary protection and auto-reset circuit breakers. Contractors seek quality, reliable power and ease of installation, while homeowners require safety and performance - and Kichler delivers on all fronts.
