Suitable for direct connection to underwater lights and for Indoor/Outdoor installations except in CANADA - Low
Voltage Landscape Lighting installation - Outdoor only.
Read and follow the safety instructions listed below and other basic safety precautions before installation or
operation of this transformer and other associated equipment.
These Safety Transformers are specifically designed to
supply 12 volts to pool/spa lights, submersible fixtures
and outdoor garden lights. A grounded shield between
the primary and secondary windings assures safe
operation and the built-in circuit protection will disconnect
power to the transformer in case of defect or overload.
These transformers are suitable for direct connection to
underwater Pool and Spa lights.
