Attributes of Today's 12 Volt AC Lighting Systems

Flexibility when installing or relocating; cable is only hidden

Designed for wet locations and operate safely when exposed to moisture

Lamps (light bulbs) are small and allow fixtures to be smaller and less obtrusive in the landscape

Lamps available in low watt type and many beam spreads; more precise lighting effects can be achieved with 2/3 lower energy costs

Can be plugged into existing outdoor GFCI receptacles; no need for a certified electrical contractor in most cases

Transformer to convert current from 120v to 12v required; voltage drop (dim lights) can occur if improperly engineered and inadequately sized cable used


 

Stainless steel outer and inner casing

Voltage taps from 12 to 18 volts
