I've had 3 stop working with in 12 monts
Would Not RecommendI have bought multiple of these transformers over the last 3 years and every single one has stopped working in 12 months. It usually starts with the photo (light) sensor then eventually the whole unit stop turning on. It's a shame the Lowes keeps selling this units when they are well known to fail in less than a year.

Never Worked From the Begining
Would Not RecommendI had the same type transformer for 12 years, but under the former Portfolio brand name. It worked great on the "A" setting. I noticed my lights flickering a couple of weeks ago, and the next day I had no lights. I figured it was time for a new transformer so I bought the 120w, now Harbor Breeze, model. I hooked it up and it only worked one night withe the same "A" setting. I took it back to Lowes and got the 200w version like I had before. As soon as I plugged it in and set it to the "A" sett...

0 product support
Would Not RecommendI have a 3-year-old unit that went dead with an 'E1' code (bad photocell) I discovered after a few days of searching online and phone calls, the manufacturer does not offer a replacement photocell and it will not run without it. Of course, it is out of warranty so I will probably try re-wiring it to bypass the sensor or find a generic replacement part. It is basically a throw-away without part support.
