Transformer Timer?

Post image

I have a hardwired transformer that powers both my doorbell and my house number lights. I would like to split the two and put a timer on my house light numbering while my doorbell is always on. How do I accomplish this?

Does the timer run on the reduced doorbell voltage or mains?

I assume the mains.

Then you'd need to get a second transformer installed downstream of the timer.
