I see. Awesome. I will head to Radio Shack this weekend and grab some and report back. Thanks you guys.

No I don't, I think you'd be way over my head there anyways. :)

Ah, thank you! This is the info I'm looking for. If you think this will work I will definitely try it. Can I ask why 2-15's and not something closer to 105 watts?

It does say it is dimmable and I am using a dimmer which everything works fine with so long as that one incandescent is in there. Would that transformer still allow for the dimmer? Just reply when you get time, no hurry. I appreciate everyone's input.

Guess I could hide an incandescent in the wall lol. Not

Parallel so my total for the leds is only 6 watts. They are 1.2 each. The extra 20 watts gets it all going. That's why I'm trying to add a load.

I don't get it either but the leds work perfectly as long as there is an incandescent in there.

Here's the whole thing then a closeup of the transformer. I can't find any other info on the leds. There's no numbers on them at all.

If I short it real quick, the leds light up. Is there a safe way to short it all the time with a resistor or capacitor or something?

I opened it, it says 12vac 105 watts. Readings are the same. Doesn't make much sense.

Ok, with nothing it was .1 volt ac, with just leds .2 vac, add one incandescent 6.7 vac. The only info I have on the leds are in that ebay link. There were no specs with them. Hong Kong!

It doesn't say if they're ac or dc. What I'm saying is they leds work as long as there is one incandescent bulb (4leds, 1 incandescent) in the line but don't if I take it off so it seems the transformer wants to see a little more load. ?

Any idea how many ohms and amps I'd be looking for?

Hi guys, new here. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to trick a 12 volt transformer into seeing more load. I have these lights http://www.lowes.com/pd_172832-24969-800CBL5N_0_?productId=1207073&Ntt=tiella&Ntk=i_products&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?newSearch=true$Ntt=tiella$y=0$x=0" and it...
