Do the transformers supply AC or DC for the 12 volt power?


That seems an odd way to pose such a question. A transformer without
more will _always_ provide AC. Provision of DC requires what I would
call a power supply, rather than a transformer.


On this page it is clearly labeled DC Transformer:

That doesn't make it right.

Rarely would one go to the trouble to provide DC for lighting -- what's
the benefit?


Less voltage drop over long distances and reduces radiated RFI.


Maybe in a long haul high voltage transmission lines there might be a
significant difference, but not in Malibu lighting. That's like citing
skin effect in household wiring.
