    I did not find information on how much wattage is used by fixtures or voltage line loss with lights for distance from transformer and what gauge wire would be needed.

    Do you have a guide as to what gauge wiring to account for line loss, carrying enough voltage and how many lights I can use based on distance and voltage?

    If you have simple formulas that would be great.

    Thank You

    Our transformer installation guides include a guide for selecting your transformer size (pg. 7) as well as voltage loss calculation (pg. 9): https://cdn-tp2.mozu.com/17007-26268/cms/26268/files/is-cc-transformers.pdf

    They are indeed simple formulas.
