I've got a Phillips Aurelle LED lighting system (actually, 6 of them) that I would like to tie to the same power source. Each kit comes with a transformer that can power up to 2 of the kits. I would like to find a transformer that can handle the whole lot. Unfortunately, my electronics education stopped at High School, and that was some time ago.
The only specs I can find on the lights are 12VDC forward voltage, 20mA forward current. The transformers are 9VDC, 500 mA with a 4.5W maximum load. This is for an outdoor application, although I could probably mount the transformer indoors if I had to.
The only low-voltage outdoor lighting transformers I can find are 12V units. I'm not sure, but I expect that using one of those would damage the lights. Are there any recommendations you can give me on what to use, or at least what I can/cannot use to power this system? I know I can find a 9v indoor transformer of at least 2 amps (wall-wart style), but would rather solve the problem correctly if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help!
