I'm not exactly sure what your asking?
I have low voltage lights too. In my case I have a single "controller" and a single buried wire that runs around my landscaping. The actual lights have a little pigtail that comes off of them and plugs onto the buried wire.
If you have one or more controllers is a function of how much power/current your controller can put out. I believe they measure it in watts. Take the watts of each light and add them together. Then compare that to the controller boxes max output.
Not sure how to help you, cause I'm not clear what your asking.

I believe what you are needing to know is how to remove them from the wire they are on.. Usually it is nothing more than bending the head of the light over to about 45 degrees and that takes the little contacts out of the cable..just hold the stake (part that goes into the ground) and bend the head over, it should then release...reverse for installing it on the other cable...good luck..let me know if i can help

It depends on the make and model of the transformer itself. It may just not give enough power to all of the lights and they would be dull. If you put too high a demand on the transformer it will simply shut off and you would have to hit the reset button. Try not to over do it ok...... Good luck
