Differences between various Gardenreet spotlights?

Firstly, when using bulbs with the same wattage and beam angle, the lighting effects produced by different spotlights are the same.

Here are the main differences between them:

1. Size: The smallest ones are 2103 and 2104, followed by 2101, and the largest ones are 2102, 2106, 2105, and 2108.

2. Presence of anti-glare shield: 2102, 2103, 2106, and 2104 come with adjustable anti-glare shields, which effectively prevent glare.

3. Different bulb types: 2101, 2102, 2105, 2106, and 2108 use MR16 bulbs, 2103 uses MR11 bulbs, and 2104 uses MR8 bulbs. The difference lies in the wattage and beam angle of these bulb types. MR16 bulbs have higher wattage and wider beam angle, making them suitable for a wider range of applications and more popular. MR8 and MR11 bulbs have lower wattage and narrower beam angle (the numbers 8, 11, and 16 refer to the diameter of the bulbs, and generally, the larger the diameter, the higher the wattage and beam angle).

Consider the appearance of the spotlights as well and choose the one that you prefer for focused lighting.

Is a transformer included?

The transformer is not included in the light fixture, it is only included in some landscape lighting kits and you have to buy it separately.

How many lights can be used in one transformer?

Depends on the power of the transformer and the bulbs, while the electrical energy will inevitably lose 20% of the voltage during transmission.
For example, if the transformer is 150W and each bulb is 5W, then 24 fixtures can be installed (150 x 80% ÷ 5).

Can these fixtures be used with rgb-w multiple color bulbs?

Yes, rgb bulbs are also applicable.
