Low Voltage and Line-Voltage- What are the differences
As More and more people are beginning to invest in energy-efficient lighting options either for their homes or business the interests and needs for low voltage lighting configurations have been highly increasing. The Electricians at ACCL Electrical know how to insure you have the best energy efficient lighting in your home to help you save on electrically bills along with making your home is as energy efficient as possible. In this article you will learn about the main differences between low-voltage and line-voltage lighting so you can make the decision on which type of system would be best for your home or business.
What is Low Voltage:
A Low-Voltage lighting system uses a transformer to lower the amount of voltage being supplied to a light fixture. Usually this transformer is built into the light fixture or located close to the light fixture somewhere along the electrical circuit. Low-voltage systems can be harder to install as well as cannot be to far from a transformer box. Low-Voltage lighting systems tend to be the safer option as they reduce the amount of electricity that runs through the light fixture. They are also known for producing a higher quality of light that appears more natural.
What is Line Voltage:
Line-voltage lighting is a standard lighting that is usually found in most homes. Line-voltage fixtures are easy to install and do not require any transformers or systems to operate. Line-voltage supplies electricity to light fixtures directly from the breaker system and has the same system/amount of power that most electrical outlets have.
