Take control of your landscape lighting with the Lightkiwi 300W Landscape Transformer. This versatile transformer provides multiple voltage taps, allowing you to adjust the power output to match the specific requirements of your landscape lights. Prevent voltage drop and ensure consistent brightness across your entire system, even with longer wire runs. The sturdy construction and weatherproof enclosure make it ideal for outdoor installations. Easy-to-access terminals simplify wiring, while the built-in overload protection safeguards your investment. Whether you're illuminating pathways, highlighting architectural features, or creating a warm ambiance, the Lightkiwi 300W transformer delivers the power and control you need.

 

 

Maximum Number of Wire per Tab (Com1, 12V, 13V, 14V, 15V)

[Wire Gauge | Wire Diameter | Number of Wire]

10 AWG | 4.6 mm | 4 pcs
12 AWG | 4.0 mm | 5 pcs
14 AWG | 3.5 mm | 6 pcs
16 AWG | 3.1 mm | 9 pcs
18 AWG | 2.8 mm | 10 pcs

## Why Multi-Tap Voltage Matters

Low voltage systems lose power over longer wire runs — a fixture 100ft away receives less voltage than one 10ft away, causing uneven brightness. Multi-tap output solves this. By connecting fixtures on longer runs to the 13V, 14V, or 15V tap instead of 12V, you compensate for the voltage drop and keep all your lights at the same brightness — regardless of distance.

## How Many Fixtures Can a 300W Transformer Power?

Stay within 80% of rated capacity (240W usable). Most Lightkiwi LED landscape fixtures run between 3W and 20W:

- 3W path lights → up to 80 fixtures
- 5W spotlights → up to 48 fixtures
- 20W floodlights → up to 12 fixtures
- Mixed system → calculate your total fixture wattage and stay under 240W

If you plan to expand later, the 300W gives you comfortable headroom 
over a 150W.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does this transformer come with a timer?
The base model does not include a timer. You can add a Mechanical Timer, Digital Timer, or WiFi Smart Plug directly at checkout using the variant selector above. All three fit directly into the transformer's built-in timer port without additional wiring.

### Can I add a photocell later?
Yes. The transformer has a dedicated photocell port. You can add the Lightkiwi L6709 Photocell at any time — at checkout or as a separate purchase later.

### What wire gauge should I use with a 300W transformer?
12/2 gauge wire for runs over 100ft or high-wattage loads. 14/2 works for shorter runs and lighter fixtures. The transformer accepts up to 10 AWG wire and accommodates multiple wires per terminal — up to 5 runs of 12 AWG per tap.

### Is this transformer weatherproof?
Yes. The stainless steel enclosure is rated for outdoor installation. It can be mounted on an exterior wall near an outdoor GFCI outlet.

### What is the difference between the 300W and 150W transformer?
The 300W handles larger systems — more fixtures, longer wire runs, or future expansion. If your total fixture wattage is over 120W (80% of 150W), step up to the 300W. The physical size is larger (18lbs vs the 150W) but the installation process is identical.
