I laid out all the lighting and wiring around the house. Went out and bought the biggest transformer HD had - 600 watts. I get home and find out the 600 watts is actually two 300 watts transformers. The lights are very dim.
Can I wire the transformers in series to get more watts to brighten the lights?
My lights add up to almost 400 watts and I used the heavy wiring. 600 would do it.
Can't you split your light circuits, and put half of them on each of the transformers?
That's a better way to do it anyway. Houses are normally wired with many different circuits, each with their own breaker in the main box.

I split the front yard and back yard. Rear of the house is bright on the 300 watt leg. The front of the house has many more fixtures and longer run thus is dim.
