Thanks for all the input. As far as all the specific information, I cannot give ALL of it, since it will take quiet a bit more labor to determine all this, and that the customer has already stated that they want to go the "economical" way. I probably will not get paid for the amount of time I've already got involved. But discounting all of that, in my original post, I ask about the possibility of a booster. If there is not one available, then I'm just waiting for the customer to get back with me on their decision to let met run 120 volts up to the sign. The wiring is already there, looks like they got #8 coming out of the transformers. They are 300 watt multitap transformers, with 13 volts being the highest tap. There are other lights on this circuit, but not too sure how many. The 4 lights at the sign are on separate circuits, in other words, 2 are on one of the circuits, and the other two are on another circuit. As far as my experience, I have installed quite a few low voltage systems, though not as thorough as the "Low Voltage" specialist that runs landscape lighting to "Hollywood houses" etc., etc...
I changed probably 40 bulbs at this place around 1 1/2 years ago, and there are spot lights that are even farther away from the transformer than these sign lights. So, in summary, all I need to know was about the "booster" possibilities for the existing lights. I am not trying to re-design the wiring system. That's out of the question, too much money involved. Thanks for all your input. I did look on the Kichler site, but have not looked on the "Ruud"site or "Hadco", or the other brand name manufacturers. Also, I gave them the option of changing transformers, but to do that, especially with one that has only 14 volt taps, would be probably around $1100.00 or so, and still not sure it will get the voltage where it needs to be. Now, I have NOT looked into any with higher voltage taps, such as 22 volts etc. That may get them high enough, if it don't make it too high for any that is closer and are on the same circuit as the sign lights.
Anyway, it's been about 3 weeks now, and the customer has not got in contact with me, so they may have decided to leave it the way it is:( Thanks again for all your input though. Steve...
