Since the ML121RT only last 2-3 years is there a better replacement transformer?

What you mean by "last 2-3 years"? My has been a year, I don't think it will die soon.

I have had this transformer for over 10 years and it still works perfectly.

No transformer is necessary as the unit uses two 1.5 volt batteries. The bottom of the unit pops off and the batteries can then be replaced.

Agree with fred, the three times rule will see you right. Depending on that calculation this particular transformer may not be enough for your fridge.

Hello Simon. I have just ordered some of these units from Amazon USA to be shipped for my home use in Singapore also. May I please ask how your experience has been with them, what transformer you use and where you purchased these transformers?

Any 12 volt transformer will work. I use a Malibu unit that powers All of my 12 volt lights. I currently have about 25 lights around myHome

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that, but the intermatic ML121RT is strictly 12 volt ac for outdoor lights. I would think you would want to buy a different transformer that would take you from 120 vac to 12 vdc.

I've never seen one, they make transformers to convert 12 volt to 120, that may work

I don't know. I used the one I purchased to repair a surgical lamp at the clinic where my wife works. The transformer worked perfectly but I don´t know.

No it is not a transformer. But one of the globes broke during installation.They said they are replacing...

If you are in the USA then any transformer that will reduce 120 V AC to 12 V DC should work.

Can't answer your question but I can answer a more fundamental one: don't buy this transformer. Mine just burned out after about two weeks of light use.

I suspect something is wrong with the transformer. Take it to a hobby shop or a knowledgeable person in electronics. My set did not work because some of the wires on the engine were burnt. After replacing them, the set works like a charm. It's a shame the company does not make that set anymore.

I had the same problem. I replaced the fuses and still nothing. Then I had to replace the transformer. I don't know why, but the transformers are not good enough to handle the power it puts out.

I have an Android Transformer 300(top ten, 2013), i3 laptop, and the Surface Pro 2. The last time I used the Transformer was day before Christmas. Pro 2 ALL the way!

I would not use it without a transformer. Using it without a transformer would most likely burn up the motor.

No but I use a step up converter (something like this http://www.amazon.com/Goldsource-STU-750-Voltage-Transformer-Converter/dp/B0022TL1BE). Using for 20-30 min here and there with a converter should be ok but prolonged use on a different voltage over time (or using it for multiple hours at once) might decrease its lifespan. Have had mine for ~1yr.

only if it fits a mr 16 base socket and you are running a 12 volt dc transformer for power. if so it should last for years to come.
