Using an External Transformer for Multiple 12 VAC AmerBrite Lamps
When using a 300 Watt transformer (set at 12 VAC) with multiple 12 VAC AmerBrite
lamps, it is recommended that no more than four (4) AmerBrite lamps be used with a
maximum of 75 feet 12 gauge cable run, between the transformer and the junction box.
There should be no more than 45 feet of cable between the junction box and the
AmerBrite lamp. This will ensure that the AmerBrite lamps receive a minimum operating
power of 9.5 VAC.

Note: If a longer cable run is
necessary, it is recommended
that separate
300 Watt
transformers be used for each
lamp with no more than 120 feet
of total cable run between the
transformer and lights.
