 Intermatic ML300RTW Malibu 300-Watt Transformer August 27, 2010
William E. Hanson (Winston-Salem, NC USA)
Although I've not install this transformer at this writing, I've opened the package and read the manual. The unit appears to be sturdy and well-built. Most of my lights to be connected are LED and should not add up to anywhere near the capactiy of this transforner, but I did want one that could handle whatever else I intend to connect in the future. There will be a combination of assorted lights including a gas lamp post being converted to low voltage, concrete pagoda, rock lights, solar pagodas converted to low voltage, etc. The area being covered includes front, back and side yards. This project has been in the planning stages for over a year mainly due to locating the appropriate fixtures to create the look I wanted. The gas lamp post is being converted from natural gas to low voltage using a kit, but not all of the inclusive parts because I'm integrating with the rest of the lighting. The solar pagodas are being converted by extracting parts from available LED fixtures and retrofitting into the pagodas. Had intended to purchase "ready-to-go" fixtures, but these just aren't available anywhere. The lighting is primarily intended to highlight various landscape features such as several fountains, birdhouses, etc. along with pathlights. The entire system will be controlled by this transformer with the optional photocell. I'm a hardcore DIY person and not timid in experimenting or doing what had not been done before.Intermatic ML300RTW Malibu 300-Watt Power Pack with Timer and Ground Shield
 Good but not great! August 27, 2010

This transformer is well made but lacks sophistication.It is extremely heavy and uses an antiquated pin system to turn the lights on and off.The pins are small and can be easily lost making the unit unusable. The pins need to be adjusted constantly as the seasons change with longer or shorter daylight. Why no automatic light sensor to adjust to seasonal change?Who wants to constantly adjust these tiny pins all the time,not me.I understand that sensors can be added but thats a pain why not build it into the product or include it??
 Terribly disappointed August 21, 2010

I purchased this item the Intermatic ML300RTW low voltage transformer in August of this year, 2010. This was the fourth one which was purchased between July and August of 2010. All four items experienced similar problem. To Amazon.com credit, they did replace the items promptly. The problem is that the clock slows down considerably as much as 4 to 5 hours behind schedule. This was after an average of 2 to 3 days after being placed in service. The transformer was used to power my driveway lights.
The last item was sent back to Intermatic for replacements. They refuse to honor a 2 day delivery as was done by Amazon.com saying that it was too costly. It was now 4 days and I am still waiting for the replacement from Intermatic. I found Intermatic very unprofessional and unresponsive. I would avoid their products at all cost. If the replacement does not work this time, I will just ask for a refund.

great timer July 28, 2010

This is an excellent timer for a great price with 300 watts of power.
It is running all my landscaping lights in the front yard
and I also have wattage room to expand in the future.
