Best Outdoor Low Voltage Transformers of 2025

"I purchased this transformer to light my side walkway, and it was a breeze to install. It works perfectly in dawn to dusk mode, and I would highly recommend this unit."

"After using this transformer for over two years, I can say it’s easy to use and has been working great since I installed it. I love that it automatically counts down when power is restored."

"I’ve tried many transformers, but none compare to this one! The sleek design and variety of options for lighting control make it a standout. With simple directions, I’m very pleased with my purchase!"

"I recently purchased the 60W Outdoor Low Voltage Transformer and I am thoroughly impressed. This transformer has significantly enhanced my outdoor lighting setup with its built-in timer and photocell sensor. The timer allows me to schedule the lights automatically, ensuring optimal energy efficiency. The construction seems highly durable, having withstood rain and snow without any issues."

"Using two of these transformers has been great for me. One is at my cottage in Northern Michigan, and it works flawlessly every summer, despite the cold snowy winters. The other one operates year-round at my home without any failures."

"I found the DEWENWILS 60W Low Voltage Landscape Transformer appealing with its dusk-to-dawn sensor, timer, and remote control. However, I did experience some frustration with the remote control, as it didn't work for me. Although easy to install and able to withstand various weather conditions, I hoped for better reliability with the remote feature."

"I like to wait before I review. This has been installed for almost 2 years and still works flawlessly. It's very easy to set up and not too big, so it's hidden out of the way. Not outrageous on the electric bill either. Clean, simple design."

"When my fancy app-enabled transformer failed for the umpteenth time, I went old school and got this transformer. It was easy to install and has worked reliably ever since."

"The installation process was simple and straightforward, but even with a strong Wi-Fi network signal, the system goes offline all the time and does not trigger the scheduled service. Update: the seller contacted me and sent instructions on app setup, and now it's working like a charm. I can connect it to my Google and use voice commands to turn it on and off."

"I’ve been using this transformer for a few weeks, and so far, it’s working perfectly. It was easy to set up, but I wish the mode indicator lights were brighter on sunny days."

"This is my second purchase of this transformer. While my first one worked great, this one turned out to be a lemon. Thankfully, customer service sent a replacement, and I appreciate their support."

"I really like my Sunvie transformer. It allows me to run multiple areas of lights from one unit, and the photo cell option is a game changer. However, keep the manual safe; it’s not the most intuitive."

“I finally got around to installing the low voltage lighting along my walkway, and it was easy to use. I mounted mine inside the garage, so weather isn't much of an issue. The timer works well with good presets, but I hope it holds up over time.”

“This is my third Malibu power pack in 25 years. They’re easy to install and work well, but I’ve noticed the edges are a bit fragile. Over time, the weight causes the plastic to break, and I had to install a new unit.”

“I purchased this power pack a little over a year ago, and while it worked great initially, I’m now facing issues with the timer. I’m disappointed that I might have been sold a product with a limited lifespan and will need to do more research for my next purchase.”

"I replaced my old transformer, and this one is half the size and very quiet. Setting it up with the app took only about 10 minutes. While it doesn't support an optical light sensor, I can still schedule operations easily."

"I had a faulty zone on my original transformer, but the company quickly sent me a replacement that works perfectly. Now I can control three separate zones from my iPhone, which is fantastic!"

"Installing this Wi-Fi low voltage landscape transformer was straightforward. I appreciate the remote control and scheduling features. It handles multiple lights without issues and has impressive build quality that withstands outdoor conditions."

“I recently installed the SUNVIE 100W Low Voltage Landscape Transformer for my outdoor lighting, and I'm really pleased with its performance and features. The weatherproof design is impressive, and the built-in photocell sensor and timer make controlling the lights so convenient. The installation was straightforward, and it provides stable power to my landscape lights.”

“I initially bought a transformer that was too small, but I returned it and got this one instead. I really appreciate the remote sensor; I mounted the transformer indoors and ran the wire outside, and it works perfectly. It's durable and water-resistant, plus it's super easy to use.”

“This transformer is a great choice. It's very easy to install and came with clear instructions. The weatherproof design has held up well in both rain and snow, and I love how simple the timer function is to use.”

"I found the Malibu transformer to be pricy but effective. This is my second unit from the same brand, and I appreciate how easy it is to install and set up. The durability has been impressive; my previous one has worked flawlessly for years."

"After experiencing issues with my old Hampton Bay unit, I decided to switch to the Malibu transformer. I love the weather-proof door that protects the timer and programming buttons from the elements. Despite missing a few mounting parts, it works well, and I'm eager to see how it holds up against rain."

"I replaced my old Malibu transformer after eight years of service. The only reason for the change was a malfunctioning timer. The automatic dusk sensor is a fantastic feature, making my life easier as I adjust to the shift toward LED lighting."

"I found the installation super easy and loved the flexibility in programming for my landscaping lights. The app is very handy for setting schedules."

"After replacing my old transformer, I was pleased with how easily the SmartLife app recognized this device. The stainless steel housing is a great improvement and I appreciate the strong connectivity."

"While the product has great features and good value, I had some trouble connecting to the WiFi. The instructions need improvement for better setup."

"I bought this for my deck lighting, and so far so good. It's a good price, easy to operate, and fits nicely in the corner. It seems waterproof and durable, completely enclosed in plastic. The timer is easy to set, and I love the dawn to dusk setting. I initially found it strong enough but decided to buy a bigger wattage one for more lights."

"After needing to replace my 35+ year old Malibu 200-watt transformer, I read reviews about this brand and its ease of programming. I opted to stick with the same size unit for potential future changes. I'm very happy with my purchase—it was so easy to program, and even came with a photocell, which I didn’t use since it’s inside my garage. The timer is very simple to use, and it's UL listed for safety. I've only had it for five days, but it's working like a charm. My lights are even brighter than before!"

"I purchased this transformer to replace a previous unit that had stopped working. I have 7W incandescent low-voltage deck lights and added SUNVIE Low Voltage LED Deck Lights running at 5W. It works great running both sets together. This transformer can handle up to 40 deck lights, which is more than enough for my needs. The controls are easy to use, and the optic sensor ensures the lights don’t run during the day. There are various options, including a manual mode or an auto dusk-to-dawn setting. The buttons and timer display are backlit and easy to see, plus the unit is solidly built. I hope it lasts longer than my last transformer."
