A magnetic transformer uses coils of wire and a magnetic core to convert voltages, operating at the frequency of the power source, typically 50-60 Hz. It is generally larger, heavier, and more durable. An electronic transformer, on the other hand, uses electronic circuitry to convert voltages at a higher frequency, making it more compact and lightweight, but it may have a shorter lifespan and is often used for low-wattage applications. We recommend using Magnetic transformers for outdoor lighting as they are far more reliable and have less voltage drop vs their electronic counterparts.
