Hi
I have a bar in my garden that has 3 beer pumps, these all have LEDs that light up the beer signage on the pumps, these 3 are all wired separately.
I also have 7 x 2w LED bulbs that are wired in series.

These pumps and bulbs are all 24v but was wondering that although the 24v transformers come with 6 connectors can I use 1 connector for the 7 x 2w LEDs?

Also what sort of VA should I be looking at for the transformer as the ones I’ve seen are rated at 96va and do not know if this is going to be man enough.

Thanks in advance for your help.

That obviously depends primarily on how much power the pumps need - but 96 VA for 3 pumps sounds very little to me.or your help.

Do the pumps (labelling or documentation) indicate how much power each needs?

VA and Watts with DC is the same, and nearly the same with AC, so 2 x 7 = 14 so 96 is ample.
Maybe I misunderstood the OP.

As you say, 96 VAis more than enough for 14W of LEDs, but I though he was saying that the transformer also has to run three pumps (which, as I implied, I suspected would need a fair bit more than 96 VA).
