Assuming the secondary of the transformer is connected to a resistive
load, then I don't think the primary will look inductive. A good power
transformer simply reflects the secondary load back to the primary,
modified by the turns ratio. There is leakage inductance, of course,
but it presents a tiny load, especially compared to the floodlight in
parallel with it.

You should be good to go.

Hi
I'm building a security system for my apt. building, and
will be using those IR motion sensors that turn on floodlights. Is it OK
to connect an inductive load (a transformer) in parallel with the
floodlight? Thanks
