Low voltage lighting transformer location?
I asked this question a week or so ago and think I may have confused folks. All of these power packs state for outdoor installation only. I called Malibu technical service and all she told me was that it was the UL code.
More simply put, does anyone know of a concern if I mount and plug in my transformer in my basement, and run the low voltage wiring through a small hole to the outside for my outdoor ground lighting?
Hope that's clearer, thanks for any thoughts!
1 AnswerGarden & Landscape1 decade agoWhy do low voltage transformers need to be installed outdoors only?
All of these power packs state for outdoor installation only. I called Malibu technical service and all she told me was that it was the UL code. Doesn't tell me much. I'd much rather install it in my basement, plugged into a GFI outlet down there and run the wiring through an appropriately-size hole outdoors, so long as I don't run the risk of burning my house down or something. My nearest outdoor outlet is 100' away and I don't want to install a new outlet unless I absolutely have to. Tx!
