Hello All,
I recently put in some low voltage path lights (9 x 4W each) that I've had nothing but issues with the transformer (here). First it blew 2 different Lutron switches controlling that circuit (used for automation), so I swapped the switch itself to a traditional toggle switch paired with this timer that flips it. All was well for a few weeks, then the circuit itself tripped, ok, a fluke. Reset it and it immediately blew again. I ruled that the transformer itself died, got a replacement from the OEM and put it in today. After wiring it outside of the existing waterproof box (the transformer itself is IP67 rated but I don't buy it...) I went to test. All was well, until I tried to move it and got shocked... WTF. I'm done with this transformer, can anybody recommend one that can be installed in a waterproof box (humidity will still be in there, but not direct rain) and drive the total wattage load of ~36 + loss?
