Hence it not only substantially reduces the wastage of energy but also provides a protective shield to the lighting fixtures against unnecessarily high voltage.<\/p><p>However, the efficacy of a landscape transformer can be increased many folds when a<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Timer\"> timer<\/a> or photocell is installed with it, hence improving the functionality of your outdoor lighting network. Timers and photocells will help automate your lights and improve energy efficiency by turning the lights on and off automatically. Hence, the energy is used only when needed.<\/p><p>A timer installed with landscape transformer will turn the lights on and off following a specific time frame. Whereas, a photocell would do so by detecting the levels of ambient light.
