The Dauer 490552 300W landscape lighting transformer supplies low-voltage outdoor lighting through four selectable 12V, 13V, 14V and 15V taps. This 300-watt stainless steel model replaces Dauer 490542 and combines an IP65 enclosure with accessible wiring connections.
Welded and riveted stainless steel seams, dual latches and an automotive-grade gasket protect the enclosure. Dauer specifies an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water jets. A tilted connection rail, slide-out door hinges and a quick-release bottom panel make wiring and service easier. The bottom panel must be installed before operation to maintain the IP65 rating.
The transformer accepts compatible plug-in timers, including suitable wireless controls. A compatible photocell can provide dusk-to-dawn operation. Dauer also offers optional integrated 6kV/3kA surge protection. These controls and surge protection are optional; they are not included with this transformer. Wireless operation requires a compatible added control.
Choose capacity using the connected fixture load, cable losses and Dauer’s installation instructions. Measure voltage at the fixtures under load before selecting a higher tap. Browse landscape lighting transformers and compatible timers and controllers.

No. Select compatible optional controls for scheduled or dusk-to-dawn operation. A timer socket or photocell connection does not mean a control is included.
