How many transformers do I need for LED lights?
It may not always be possible to use one transformer per fitting due to constraints such as space and cost, so keep this in mind when buying. However, many prefer to use one transformer to power a series of bulbs or light strips (maximum five metres on one transformer).
Why does my LED have 3 wires?
LED Lights with 3 wires will be a multi-function light. They can (most times) be used in whatever configuration is right for your application. For example, running and brake, running and blinker or brake and blinker. These LED’s will usually have a black, red and white wire.
How do I know what power supply I need for my LED?
Take the length of your LED strip in feet and multiply it by the watts consumed per foot, then multiply by 1.2. This will give you the minimum sized power supply you’ll need to run your strips.
How are three phase transformers connected to each other?

What happens when you connect two transformers in parallel?
If you need more power, you would need to either get a larger, more expensive transformer or connect another identical one in parallel. If you connected two 75VA transformers in parallel, you would then have 150VA of secondary capacity, which can be necessary in some cases with multistage commercial units or some large accessories.
Can a 12V transformer be used with a halogen transformer?
They are not suitable for 12VAC (halogen or LED retrofit) lighting. The fundamental difference between LED driver and 12VAC electronic transformer outputs can be found further down the page. – If the transformer is electronic, it’s particular power supply circuitry and load requirements
What should my Transformers read to one another?
They should read 0v to one another and 24v to common. If you get anything other than 0v from hot to hot, you want to recheck your primary wiring and ensure they are exactly the same.
