Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this transformer and the Waterco 265011 (30VA) or 265012 (60VA)?

The 265032 is a 120VA single-output transformer, suitable for higher-wattage pool lights — particularly halogen lights which draw more power than LED equivalents. The 265011 (30VA) and 265012 (60VA) are lower-capacity models designed for LED pool lights only. The 265032 is also IP65 rated (weatherproof), compared to IP44 (splash-proof) on the smaller models. Choose the 265032 if your pool light is halogen, or if your LED light’s power draw exceeds 30VA or 60VA.

Can I use this transformer for LED pool lights?

Yes — the 265032 is suitable for both halogen and LED pool lights rated up to 120VA at 12V AC. Always confirm the voltage and VA requirements of your specific pool light before ordering. Using a transformer with a higher VA rating than the light requires is safe; using one with a lower VA rating than required is not.

Does this transformer need to be installed by an electrician?

The transformer is supplied with a mains plug for straightforward connection to a standard power outlet. However, the overall pool lighting installation — including conduit, niche wiring, and connection to the pool light — must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 and local council requirements.
