300VA pool light transformer (230-to-12V)

12V, 300VA transformer for pool- or LV halogen lights

Basic description:
* Conventional magnetic (not electronic) transformer
* Steps 230V AC mains down to 12V AC for safe use with pool lights or Low-Voltage indoor halogen lamps
* Can be used to power conventional 12V pool lights(s) or 12V halogen lamps
* 300VA (300 Watt) rating - sufficient for 2 x 115W pool lights or 6 x 50W LV halogen lamps
* Double-wound for completely safe operation (galvanically separate windings)
* Mounting frame with handy holes for easy mounting to a backboard

Technical data:
* 300VA (300 Watt) rating
* Secondary winding : 12VAC @ 25 Amps maximum
* Primary winding : 230VAC at 1.3 Amps maximum
* Overall size : 122mm (L) x 100mm(W) x 102mm (H)
* Weight : 4.1kg
* Construction : Open frame with mounting holes on all sides, flying lead connections
* Mounting frame holes : Top&bottom : 60x74mm rectangle; Sides: 60x63mm rectangle
* Primary winding input : Live, Neutral, and Earth connections, flying leads
* Secondary winding output : 2 x 6 sqmm flying leads
* Lead lengths : Approx 200mm on both windings

Condition:
* Clearly used but in perfect working order and good condition
* Reason for selling : I've changed to a lower-wattage pool light and this transformer was simply too large for the new control box

My comments:
* Most pools with a single 12V light use a 100W sealed-beam lamp, or a dual-filament (60+55W ) type lamp
* Even if both filaments are used together, this is only 115W - this transformer will handle it with ease (160% more powerful)
* In fact, it will comfortably handle a pool with two 115W lights
* Unlike electronic transformers, these magnetic transformers are very simple and reliable - nothing much to go wrong
