This is a is a 60-watt, 12-volt electronic transformer. While it can technically power a single 10W, 12V halogen G4 bulb, it's important to consider the transformer's minimum load requirement.
⚠️ Minimum Load Requirement
This transformer requires a minimum load of 20 watts to operate correctly. Using it with only a 10W bulb may lead to issues such as:
-
Flickering
-
Failure to turn on
-
Reduced lifespan of the transformer
To ensure proper operation:
-
Option 1: Add another 10W, 12V halogen bulb in parallel to meet the 20W minimum load.
-
Option 2: Use a load resistor designed for low-voltage lighting to simulate the additional load.
-
Option 3: Replace the transformer with a model that has a lower minimum load requirement, such as the TR060ACLED, which has a 2W Min load and supports LED applications
