J,

For every light that you want to independently control, you need a "switch" and a transformer..

With one switch, one transformer, and three lights, all three lights will be the same color at the same time and turn on and off at the same time..

Each switch will need its own transformer..

The most sensible setup would be... The three lights on one switch and transformer, and the two laminars on a second switch and transformer..

Thanks,

Jim R.

hi jim thanks

question do i need to add a new breaker for the new transformer or can add it to the same breaker?

J,

Should be able to use the same breaker...

Just to be clear, the AC power from the breaker get connected to the controller box(s) and not directly to the transformer(s)...
