300W Low Voltage Transformer with Photocell Installed – Naples, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 300W LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION WITH PHOTOCELL – NAPLES, FL

We recently completed a clean and efficient install of a 300W low voltage transformer equipped with a built-in photocell at a residence in Naples, FL 34110. The purpose of this upgrade was to improve the homeowner's landscape lighting system by introducing dusk-to-dawn automation for enhanced security, convenience, and energy efficiency.

• Installed (1) 300W low voltage lighting transformer with built-in photocell sensor
• Connected multiple landscape lighting zones to the new transformer
• Mounted the unit on an exterior-rated backboard at the rear of the property
• Verified photocell functionality to ensure automatic on/off operation with sunset/sunrise
• Checked voltage output and confirmed all lighting circuits were balanced and running properly
• Cleaned up the job site and briefed the homeowner on basic operation and maintenance

The homeowner now enjoys automatic outdoor lighting that responds to changing daylight conditions—no timers or manual switches needed. The system is energy-efficient and requires minimal upkeep, and the installation blends neatly with the property’s aesthetics.

How long did the installation take?
This job was completed in under 3 hours, including testing and walkthrough with the homeowner.

What is a photocell and why is it useful?
A photocell is a light-sensitive sensor that automatically turns outdoor lighting on at dusk and off at dawn. It's perfect for homeowners who want worry-free, energy-saving outdoor illumination.

Can this transformer handle expansion?
Yes. The 300W capacity allows for additional landscape lighting to be added in the future without needing a new transformer.

Do I need a timer or smart switch with this setup?
No extra timer is needed. The built-in photocell does the work of sensing daylight and controlling the system.

Is this something CoHarbor Electric handles often?
Yes—we specialize in outdoor lighting and low voltage electrical systems, and our Naples team frequently installs systems just like this across Collier County.
