Summary: Simple to install!
Comment: I purchased 80-watt power packs and wanted to increase the number of lights. I highly recommend saving money and purchase the higher wattage power pack. You never know when you'll want more lights. Malibu offers a great and reliable product.

Summary: Fixed the problem
Comment: I had too many lights too far away from my primary transformer. I cut the line and put this in line, the lights were brighter again! Works great!

Summary: Workhorse that does what it says!
Comment: I bought a packaged set of Malibu lights and decided to extend the run and add more lights. I quickly realized that I had exceeded the 60 watt output of the transformer that came with it and needed more juice. This unit was very well priced and I don't think I'll ever outgrow it. Simple to hook up and mount. Would definitely recommend.

Summary: Malibu 300W Low Voltage Transformer
Comment: Worked as advertised...other reviewers commented on lack of template for mounting, but I found no difficulty. I pulled all the timer pins out and use a photocell switch in series with the unit to turn in on at dusk and let it run for four hours.
There is a slight buzz (60 cycle noise), but I was able to isolate the box from the wall with some rubber pads and it is tolerable. Only has 12 volt taps, so you have to have relatively short runs to ensure the last fixture has adequate voltage. I used 12 gage wire exclusively with this unit and am currently running eight fixtures with 170 watts total.
Satisfied so far.

Summary: Malibu 300-Watt Power Pack
Comment: Bought this Malibu 12 volt transformer to start an outdoor low voltage lighting project. It works as it has been designed. I have it mounted INSIDE my garage on a panel where I have my electrical sub-panel and all my other timer type devices centrally located.
The caveats to report are: The timer on top is small and hard to read and is easily moved when messing with the the on/off tripper clips. The timer wheel is segmented into light and dark sections for night and day. The pointer to set the timer is really hard to see. The manual on/off switch is a round little pole that sits just outside the timer wheel. A little hokey. The tripper clips are plastic and really small and potentially could get dropped in and around the timer circle. You get two sets. The lid doesn't stay open when you're trying to set the timer so you have to have one hand holding the lid open the the other hand doing the setting. The unit itself mounts using two slots on the back. There was no template supplied for mounting. The electrical wire coming out of the unit for 110/120 volt hookup is hardwired and is about 24 inches long with a molded straight in plug. There is no way to attach this directly to an electrical box (outdoor or otherwise) via a sealed conduit without major surgery. The unit is capable of a photo electric hookup, but that is a separate purchase accessory.
I may or may not buy another one of these although the price was certainly right. I need another 300 watt supply, but it will have to be mounted outside. I just don't particularly care for the way Malibu instructs you as to how to mount their unit. Again, it does function for me. I've had other timer units by Intuit that were a little more user friendly.
