12- Volt VS 120-Volt: The Low Voltage Advantage

12-volt is safer than 120-volt. Feel at ease knowing your low-voltage lighting system poses no risk of accidental electrical injury.

12-volt operating expense is approximately 1/3 less than 120-volt lamps. The longer you operate a low-voltage system, the more money you save.

Installation costs are approximately 1/4 as much for 12-volt.  Low voltage lighting allows for a more functional lighting system at a fraction of the cost of traditional high-voltage systems.

12-volt lamps give beam control rather than the omni direction flare associated with 120-volt lamps; therefore, allow for more exact, specialized lighting effects to be incorporated into your low-voltage system designs.

For wattages of 75 or less, there are over 100(one hundred) 12-volt lamps available, compared to 12 (twelve) 120 volt lamps.  Eliminate problems of fixture and lamp availability along with concerns of limited selection when you choose low-voltage lighting.

12-volt lamps are capable of compact design therefore yield more compact fixtures.  Focus onlooker attention on the lighting effect as apposed to the light source.

12-volt lamps produce a better quality of light than 120-volt.  Experience subtle natural lighting effects when you specify low-voltage lighting.

12-volt lamps are available in a wide range of quartz halogen, not available to 120-volt.  Again, the diverse varieties of low-voltage fixtures and lamps insure that you can create the lighting effects necessary for any installation.

Control of 12-volt outdoor lighting is available as an easy, low cost after thought.  This is a rare feature for the more expensive 120-volt lighting.

Fully automated low-voltage lighting systems are easily attained by adding various inexpensive control options to the existing system.  There are multiple control options available for you to choose from.
