What is the difference between the magnetic and electronic transformer?
The contour projector is available with two types of low voltage power supplies. Both the magnetic and electronic models produce a constant 12 volt power supply to the MR16 lamp. Magnetic transformers are more commonly used as they are easier to dim. Although electronic transformers dim just as well, electronic transformers require special dimmers or interface components to be compatible. Magnetic dimmers are available in 600 and 1000 watt models and electronic dimmers have a maximum capacity of 300 watts. So, if you have multiple Contour projectors on one switch, I would go with the magnetic transformer.
