    Why do you ask "without a transformer"?

    If the lights are 120 volts, then a transformer is not needed at all.

    Are the lamps rated 120 volts?

    If they are not 120 volts, then a transformer is needed. The 120 volt switch can control the input of the transformer to switch the low voltage lights.
