Please log in for more thread options I want to do some landscape lighting and wondering if using a 12volt system(20 watt bulb) is more efficient than normal 120 volt (20 watt Bulb). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks Phil, Is there any advantage in using low voltage recessed ceiling lighting? Seeing that the fixtures are costlier than line voltage cans, why are they becoming so popular? Dave >

So, what are ppl going to have in their kitchens (the most popular place in the UK for low voltage halogens) when incandescents are banned then ? Back to those exposed tube florries ?
