For outdoor path lighting, is it better to have 2 small transformers or 1 big one?
I’m planning to have about 12 lights, roughly half are towards the front of the house and half extend towards the rear. Should I run a really long wire to all of the locations, and use one larger transformer, or should I split it into two separate runs with two smaller transformers?
Pros of two – separate on/off controls to save energy if one side isn’t needed. also simpler to run the shorter cable lengths.
Pros of one – only one timer to set, one plug required
????
If it were me, I’d probably install the two smaller systems. It’s better to have shorter buried wire runs. It will also be easier to diagnose malfunctions, down the road.
