Description
What this transformer does
Underwater 12 V lamps must not be plugged straight into the socket – a transformer sits between them and the mains. This 50 W Atlas Pool model converts 220 V to 12 V, has a PVC housing with air cooling and a fuse on the input side. The manufacturer also notes high dielectric strength.

Package contents and extras
- In the package: pool transformer 50 W / 12 V.

How to choose the power
Choose a transformer whose power is equal to or greater than the sum of the lamps you will connect. This is the smallest model in the 50 to 600 W series. The model is enough, for example, for one PAR56 LED lamp rated 30 W.
The 12 V marking alone does not guarantee that the whole system matches – compare the power and supply requirements of the lamps with the transformer data. The manufacturer's range includes 12 V models of 50, 100, 300, 400 and 600 W.
Safety
The device must only be installed and connected by a qualified electrician, with the power switched off. Follow the markings on the unit and its operating specification.
