A step-down transformer U really don't need a step up or stepdown transformer You need a source capable to run your LED it can be a swithcing power supply for istance a battery
Electrical (alternating current)
Use a transformer.
yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer
The transformer can be tested on open and short circuit to find the iron losses and copper losses separately, which uses a fraction of the power than having to run the transformer on full-load.
Ideal transformer is useful in understanding the practical transformer..i does't have losses...
To use a transformer for LED strip lights, make sure the transformer's output voltage matches the LED strip lights' requirements. Check the transformer's wattage to ensure it can power the LED strip lights. Connect the transformer to the LED strip lights following the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
500w iron core transformer .that kind of size
You can't use a transformer. HO models all run on DC current, AC will destroy them. You can buy HO power supplies, and for 30 ft of track almost any one would do.
One transformer should feed several led's in parallel, but you have to work out how much current each one will take, total it up, and then get a transformer with the correct output voltage and that can supply the total current. Don't exceed the transformer max current or it may fail through overheating

If you have a transformer with an output adequate to run the motor, use it directly for the supply to the motor control circuitry. Remember when dealing with motors, the start current will be about 300% of the full load running amperage. Size the transformer accordingly.
you can use a voltage divider or a step-down transformer to lower voltage.

Usually you'll need 100ohm resistor for each led. In this kind of setting, you will get the LED intensity nonuniform because of its differences due tolerance value. the best thing is to use LED driver IC. Another benefit of using LED driver is, you can mix red led with other color. Now, if we wanted to connect a red LED with a forward voltage of 1.8V and a current of 20mA directly to the transformer output then use the following equation: R=V/I = 9 / 0.02 = 450 Ohms. You could use 470 ohms from the E12 resistor series.
