SOURCE: I have an intermatic/malibu low voltage outdoor

I think you can add any Malibu 12V lights rated for the 300 W power pack. Make sure that the total output stays below the 300W limit.
http://www.malibulights.com/ and click on Products and the different available lights will be detailed with the voltage and wattage.
You just have to click on the category, then the specific light and Product details.
This tier light would be acceptable http://www.malibulights.com/Products/Detail.aspx?category=Low+Voltage+Lighting&subcategory=Tier+Lights&sku=8301-9200-01&series=TIR-2009-1&seriesname=Cast%20Metal%20Tier%20Light&id=195

This flood light can also be put on the system

I hope this helps.

How many watts of lights are connected to the transformer. It should be between 250 and 300 watts.

H ow to replace timer with phot0 cell

They make a photo eye for the timer... wiring is changed a bit... will work on ML300 if timer has A-B-C wiring terminals

You can use a 120 -> 12 volt ac transformer that is rated for 300 watts... and connect in-line photoeye on the 120 volt side.

My Icon bathroom fan does not work by timer I have changed timer , transformer and electrics have been checked (with certificate) What next !

Which timer do your have?
Not all timers work with fan motors?
Are you adding a new bath fan? Or are you installing a new timer?

What transformer what checked? A transformer is used to change voltage. For example you can plug a Malibu outdoor-light transformer into ordinary 120V outlet and the transformer changes voltage to 12 volts so you can safely operate lights stuck into the ground around bushes. Or your phone recharges using transformer that converts ordinary 120Volt into very low voltage entering your phone.
Practically every electronic device in your home has a transformer ... microwave, TV, computer ... but I don't know why a bath fan would have a transformer.
Add a comment, and I will respond.

Where you connect the electrical cord from a fount into the timer

The Malibu ML200RT is intended to operate _12_ volt AC (low voltage) lighting _only_.
Assuming your fountain pump is 120 volts, the needed set up would be to supply 120 volt circuit to an Intermatic T101 timer (or similar timer), then connect a GFCI receptacle to the load side of the timer. You could then plug your fountain pump into the now timer controlled GFCI receptacle.
You can use the same 120 volt circuit that supplies the ML200RT transformer.

I just purchased some spotlights to add to my already installed malibu landscaping lights. I upgraded my transformer to 300 watts since the total wattage used comes out to 220. The lights on the end of...

Yes, using a larger wire will help, as will using more than one run. If you want too, you can leave the 16 gauge wire in place, then run the new 12 gauge wire and transfer most of the lights to the new run.

The fewer lights on a run, the less dimming will occur, so put more lights on the 12 gauge run.

Also, the longer the run, the more dimming will occur.
You may want to reconsider the location of the transformer, if possible. In your case, it would be better to locate the transformer in the middle of the current run, and just split the run in half to make a run in each direction. Of course, that depends if you have a 120 volt outlet available in that area.
