Kichler Lighting 15510CBR User manual

Brand: Kichler Lighting

Model: 15510CBR

Type: User manual

Kichler Lighting 15510CBR is a transformer designed for use with landscape lighting systems. It is rated for 120 volts and provides 12 volts of power to the lighting fixtures. The transformer has a three-position switch that allows the user to adjust the voltage output to suit the needs of the lighting system. The "LOW" setting is recommended for systems with a total wattage of less than half of the transformer's capacity, while the "HI" setting is recommended for systems with a total wattage that is close to the transformer's maximum capacity.
