How to power pergola lights from a remote outlet

low-voltage

I built a pergola in middle of my backyard.

I have only one power outlet in my house wall facing backyard.
I am also planning to connect the low voltage led landscape lights for the garden and put the Edison style LED bulb string on pergola.

I understand that I cannot use the extension cord to connect the low voltage transformer so I will be using the one power outlet to connect the low voltage transformer. That will mean that I don't have a source/outlet to connect an extension cord to for the Edison bulb string.

What would be the most effective and cheapest option? Can I use one extension cord and then connect the voltage transformer and Edison light string to it?

OR, are there any Edison bulbs which can be connected to low voltage transformers?

Best Answer

There are 12V edison bulbs for boats and RVs. In my backyard, I have incandescent bulbs connected to a landscape transformer. I will change them to LEDs eventually. For an LED bulb, you need to be sure it will work with AC. This bulb says it will work with landscape transformers.
