I am involved in laying out a low voltage landscape project. It involves 10 trail lights (10-20 watts each - haven't decided on style - focal pt is fountain), a separate fountain (snow pagoda) with pump and light. Want to be able to control all three separate - Trail Lights, fountain light and fountain pump -from switchs inside the house. Probably need 3 transfomers 1- 250 watt, and two smaller ones fountain light 20 watt, pump 14 watt (if I go with low voltage pump) - right now have line voltage pump. Question -suggest transformer for 20 watt fountain light and 14 volt pump. I am thinking that the only way I can control each is to install 3 transformers to three switched outlets to which the transformers are pluged into. The lowest wattage outdoor transformer I can find is 88 watts. I noticed you have direct burial - I could run line (14-4 or 12-4 -If I can find it!!)voltage (40 feet) to the fountain and have two transformers to control the trail lights and the fountain light and run the pump on 120. Have #12 wire and length of run is 150 feet. Transformer at fountain would place it a "T" with side runs of about 50' each. ANY assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Tx. Alex

Well, that sounds like quite a project!  The best transformer for your application is a HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER from Focus Industries.  They have multiple taps that allow you to overcome voltage drop problems and still power up your fountain pump.  LANDSCAPE CABLE only comes in two conductors unfortunately.  Yes, the MALIBU TRANSFORMER is our smallest model.  Have you looked at our PRE-PACKAGED LIGHTING KITS?
