30-watt Low Voltage DC Transformer, LED, 25DLTRANSFORMER

a year and a half These started working right away and lasted for 8 hours. Before failing, it took ten months. So. That is to say, they are abysmal. You'll have to try your luck with the warranty to get them replaced. That's a joke at best. br>They'll either fail completely without warning or flash the LEDs at various brightnesses for a week or so before failing completely. I attempted to disassemble it, but the electronics are sealed inside the back cover (which requires a special tool). meaning that the electronics are permanently sealed and encased in plastic. This is useful for keeping water out, but not so much for repairing them. I've bought four of these things and they've all failed within that time frame. I took a different path and built my own power supply, complete with a waterproof case, Trex connectors, and other components.

It appears to be a failure. These transformers appear to fail prematurely despite the use of all TREX lights, TREX connectors, and TREX wiring, as well as following TREX sizing and installation guidelines. I've looked over a few of them. Quality should be higher for the price. I'm not sure why they're failing, but my guess is that they're not as weatherproof as they claim (despite being installed under the deck) or that they have problems with freezing temperatures.

Everything about this unit is fine, except for the fact that it broke down after only 8 months. Trex is used for all of the system's components. Everything is set up in accordance with the instructions. The unit is installed beneath the deck in a sheltered area. I ran tests on all of the system's components to ensure that nothing else was broken. I replaced the transformer, and everything is working fine; other transformers have lasted me years. This design or build quality has a flaw. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> I only had the replacement unit for two months. I read somewhere that if the unit is overloaded, it has an internal fuse that will melt. According to the Trex website, I am nowhere near the maximum number of lights that this unit should be able to handle. I'm going to go with a bigger unit this time.

I used this transformer to wire some riser lights on my deck, and it works perfectly. I didn't use the timer; instead, I added an outlet to my outdoor lamps circuit and plugged the transformer into it, causing the riser lights to turn on when the lamps do. br>br>The wire from the transformer to the lighting is approximately 20 feet long, while the wire for the plug is approximately 4 feet long.

So far, after two months of use, it appears to be working well. Take the time to figure out how much power you're putting through the transformer. Review the wattage of each light you want to use on the Trex website. I only have lights that use 80% of the overall load for safety reasons.

So there's a lot of stuff that hasn't been used in a while. Why don't you just sell us the transformer on its own for a lower price?.

But wait until you read about how they fail after a year. So far, so good; after reading about how they fail after a year, I purchased a warranty extension. If you've never had an extended warranty for anything before, you're in a bit of a bind if you have Trex lighting. For warranty purposes, you must utilize their transformer. If the project fails, I will change the review.

Opening the package, reading the instructions, and plugging it in was all that was required for this new unit to be installed. Boom. Done.
