If you have a domestic client base and are looking for incremental revenue opportunities, read on… While Kiwis’ travel options are still limited, many are continuing to invest in their own backyard. Though Kiwis often spout the ‘DIY’ acronym with confidence, few homeowners have the electrical skills required to competently ‘do it themselves’, particularly where homeowner work on a low or extralow voltage installation has to comply with the Electricity Regulations no matter who does it. To ensure safety and compliance for your customers you should take care of this work for them and, now that we are in the darker months of the year, it is obvious where additional exterior lighting is required around the house. A very popular exterior solution is the 12 volt lighting system. By and large the 12 V lighting system is loved for its versatility and ease of installation. One component that is often glossed over within the system is the transformer. We appreciate that often clients tend to lead with looks before function, but arguably the transformer is the most important part of the system. Without a robust transformer, their lighting solution will simply not last. Solutions available on the market are often commercially rated or electronically controlled, making them often pricey relative to the job or not compatible with the desired luminaires. You can now protect your clients from these pitfalls by installing a TH series of 12 V AC wire-wound transformer from Eurotech
Lighting. The TH series provides a superior and versatile specification for exterior 12 V situations at a competitive price point. This allows your client to focus on the lighting and gives you piece of mind knowing you will have a robust transformer for the installation, no matter what their 12 V luminaire choice.

TH transformers have an auto-resetting internal overload function and no minimum load requirement to operate, making them incredibly versatile across different luminaire types – especially LED which are now being produced with lower and lower running wattages. In addition, wire-wound technology combined with LED luminaires has proven over the years to be more reliable than electronic solutions currently on the market. Available in two models (TH13 and TH14) offering 6 VA variants, TH transformers provide solutions from 50 VA up to 400 VA. Both models have an ingress protection rating of IP67 making the range perfect for installation around pools areas or anywhere where water is present. As we move into winter and the ‘high rain season’ it is important to
consider higher IP rating in exterior environments. When installing a TH transformer, you can either install it above ground or in an additional water meter box. As long as the transformer has the ability for water to drain away, this robust transformer will reliably perform to its rating. TH transformers are made from a resinfilled polycarbonate and are supplied with two independent cables of 700 mm length for the 230 V and 12 V connections. Each model is compatible with any brand of luminaire that meets the transformer’s specification and, if you combine a TH transformer with Eurotech Lighting’s EconLED SPS spotlight with changeable LED lamps, you can offer your clientele a competitively priced and robust exterior lighting solution. Eurotech Lighting is 100 percent kiwi owned.
