Can I use this timer for my landscaping lights to plug into the transformer? Thank you

This is more of an indoor timer. I use an outdoor timer Coleman cable 13547, 6 outlet power stake for my outdoor lights. I recommend it for both uplighting and Christmas lights. This timer works best indoors, imo.

Yes you can dependent on the transformer. I use these professionally as a landscape lighting professional and there are some brands of transformers that it will not fit in, so check how much room you have.

This unit is intended to be used indoors. If you want to use it for an outdoor system it has to be in some type of waterproof container. Otherwise it's a great timer.

No. You need your neutral wire connected to this. If power is going to the light fixture first and then the switch then loops back, this timer will not work. The timer requires both a hot wire and neutral wire to operate correctly. If you have a switch loop run and you are able to pull a neutral from another run in the same box or another location altogether, then you could use that. Just do NOT use your ground as your neutral!

I would assume so. If you plug timer into wall, then plug light cord into it :)

Yes. Check compatibility - we found our LED lights weren't compatible with the ramp timer even though they were from the same company.

I do not know. My gardener put it in and it is plugged in but I have another one like that that is wired (electrician did that one) so I assume you can but not sure. My suggestion is to ask an electrician. Sorry, cannot help better.

There's a receptacle for the lights to plug into the timer. The timer cord goes into your electrical outlet

I'm sorry. But are you sure you want to put strobe lights in your landscape. I really don't know if these would be wired into a 12 transformer for your landscape. I would write the company to find out.

If you plan on putting these lights outdoor, you should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use the standard 120V transformer. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. 1/3 the cost of buying the transformers and a timer to control it (or worst, trying to find an outlet for the transformer). You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc?

No. This is a low voltage light. It needs to be run off a transformer (commonly used by landscape lighting)

I just checked and see that this timer is rated for up to 8.3 amps and since a 250 watt bulb at 120 volts equates to about 2 amps, this should work well for you. Its a rugged unit which I have been using outdoors in the dusk to dawn mode with my outdoor low voltage lighting and it works very well. Obviously this unit is photoelectric and turns on automatically when its dark out so you'll have to position it properly on or near your doghouse so that the photoelectric cell can measue the outdoor light.

Yes. They have led landscaping lights... Just watch the total watts per line and don't max out the transformer...

My timer went bad as well, but I purchased an outdoor heavy duty timer, made by GE from HomeDepot for $15.00 and plugged the transformer cord into the timer and everything works perfect.

Yes, assuming you have "normal" porch lights. Timer/switch is rated for up to 1800 watts. Most porch lights don't exceed 100 watts, so three drawing 300 watts is no problem. One of my timers controls two 600 watt transformers (for low voltage yard lights) without a problem.

No it will not. The photo eye on the bottom turns the transformer on or off. The timer can also be used to determine how long the lights remain on at night and can also be used to turn the lights on at a certain time after dark. The motion sensor only works with the dimming feature.

I have the opposite in my garage but the solution is the same, you leave the transformer in the on position and plug it into any inexpensive mechanical timer and control its on and off thru that. other transformers don't allow this method but it works. timer should cost less than $5.

I have not used the transformer that came with in this box yet, but simply wanted replacement lights to work with my Malibu transformer and lights setup. I do have other smaller timers that do work with a photocell which you simply set to be on for 4, 6 or 8 hours for example or dusk until dawn. It must be outside.

You can use three of these on 1 transformer. Just plug the lights together. there are plugs on each end for that. make sure that they are plugged in the right way or they will not work ( just rotate the plug and try again)
