Is it ok to use old transformers for powering accesories?
I have ALOT of them & IF I ever do that I'd make sure that all the transformers are on a Power Strip to turn them off when not in use

Yes, they are good for that! I myself, use old Computer power supplies that have had there 4 VDC used for lighting and then the 12 VDC used for variable lighting that have been wired to Reostats, to adjust intensity as well......
