Khang Luu Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi guys, I am working on my first house. I am getting this kit. the transformer is 12V, 20W. it says that it supports 33 12V light bulbs. I wonder what happens if I go below or over the specified number of light bulbs. If it's okay to do so, how many bulbs can I go under or over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Under should not be a problem. You will be testing each fixture as you go, so with the first few you will have far less than the limit installed. If you go over, the lights may not shine as brightly. When counting, remember that each bulb must be counted, not just the light fixtures. A single chandelier with 5 bulbs counts as 5.

Mid-life madness Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Like Kathie said, don't go over. The lights can be finicky so don't push your luck.....seriously! You can blow the fuse or the lights simply won't illuminate. It is not worth trying since trouble shooting a problem can be a nightmare. You can swap out the transformer and buy a larger one separately from Cir-kit that is meant for more bulbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have made electrical as hard as it can be for myself......especially when i cut through wires while trimming wallpaper around windows.

Another good argument in favor of wallpaper templates over wiring... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
