Dauer 490552 300W Stainless Steel Landscape Lighting Transformer

Product Description

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.

Outdoor enclosure and installer-friendly access

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.

Timer, photocell and surge-protection options

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.

Frequently asked questions

How many lights can a 300-watt transformer power?

There is no fixed fixture count. Add the wattage of every connected fixture, allow for cable losses, and follow Dauer’s loading instructions. Cable length, wire gauge and required fixture voltage also affect the design.

Does this transformer include a timer or photocell?

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.
