Product Overview

The Total Light TL-TRAN100-SS is a 100-watt low-voltage transformer designed to supply stable 12V to 15V power for smaller landscape-lighting systems. Its multi-tap output gives installers several voltage options when planning cable runs and compensating for voltage drop across a properly designed low-voltage circuit. The stainless-steel enclosure is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation and provides a durable housing for the transformer, terminal connections and protective components.

The cabinet includes a large internal wiring compartment and terminal strip to help organize field connections. A quick-mount bracket, pre-scored knockouts and removable bottom panel support installation and service access, while the sealed lockable door helps protect the internal controls and wiring. The transformer also includes a six-foot heavy-duty power cord and a plug-in-ready timing receptacle. A compatible plug-in timing control is not included and must be selected separately when automatic scheduling is required.

Built-in protection includes a surge suppressor, primary thermal protection and a secondary-side magnetic circuit breaker. The internal wiring is rated up to 125°C. Before installation, total the connected fixture wattage, account for cable length and voltage drop, and leave the capacity margin required by the current installation instructions and applicable electrical requirements. The TL-TRAN100-SS is ETL certified. Current Total Light warranty coverage provides lifetime protection for the stainless-steel cabinet and transformer core, with six-year coverage for connections and electrical components. Review the linked specification sheet and warranty terms before installation.

System Compatibility

The TL-TRAN100-SS is designed for compatible 12V low-voltage landscape-lighting fixtures and provides output taps from 12V through 15V. Transformer capacity must be selected using the total connected lamp or fixture wattage, cable length, wire gauge, voltage drop and the required operating margin. Do not exceed the limits stated in the current specification sheet and installation instructions.

Installation and Planning Notes

• Calculate the total connected fixture wattage before selecting the transformer and circuit layout.
• Account for cable length, wire gauge and voltage drop when choosing the appropriate output tap.
• Mount the transformer in an accessible location using the quick-mount bracket and approved attachment hardware.
• Keep the sealed door accessible for wiring, breaker reset, timing-control changes and future service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much landscape lighting can this transformer support?

The transformer is rated for 100 watts, but the usable project load must account for the required capacity margin, cable length, voltage drop and the current installation instructions. Add the wattage of every connected fixture before planning the circuit.

Why does the transformer provide 12V through 15V output taps?

The multiple output taps help installers address voltage drop on longer cable runs. The correct tap depends on the complete system layout, wire gauge, cable length and connected load.

Is a timer included?

No. The transformer includes a plug-in-ready timing receptacle, but a compatible timer or other timing control is sold separately.

Can the transformer be installed outdoors?

The stainless-steel cabinet is designed for indoor or outdoor use. Install it in an accessible location and follow the current specification sheet, electrical requirements and mounting instructions.
