The Source 60 & Source 180
The Source is BOLD’s standard low-voltage transformer. It is available in 60VA and 180VA. Integrated directly into the transformer is a day photocell and an astronomical clock.

Timer
The Timer Mode allows you to schedule a time when you want your
lights to turn on and a set a time for when you want them to turn off (the time must be set for this mode to work properly).
