Connecting Large Group of L/V Wires to Transformer

I have little to no experience with low voltage lighting. I need to replace a transformer, but I am having some trouble finding one that will accept the large connectors you see in the photograph. It appears the lights are ran in series (I hope that is the correct term) and not just a single line that terminates at the end. There are three, 12-gauge negatives, and three, 12-gauge positives connected to each connector. What is the proper way to stepdown the large group of wires to a smaller connector that will fit a common transformer terminal? DO you step down the 3 wires to a single wire somehow or is there a better way? Rewiring the lights is not an option.

What is this, photo Sensor or LED light?

New house with this on the side of the house under some trees. Trying to figure out what it is. AI search tells me it's a photo sensor but I have no idea what it would control. I was thinking it was an LED light.

Any help on identification is appreciated.

I just installed landscape lighting and doesn’t look right where I placed the spotlights. Any advice in placement or light type is much appreciated.

Fixtures need cleaning

Hello:

I have a few dozen black metal landscape fixtures that are looking a little sad. They need to be cleaned. I've tried some 303 products to coat them to bring them back to life, but that didn't work. I'd prefer not to repaint them. I'm thinking mineral oil but that is a temporary fix. Any suggestions for cleaning and restoring the fixtures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
