Default Recessed Lights

Good point!

Kitchen (in soffits) and adjoining "great room" (in vaulted ceiling). My
questions could be restated as follows:

Is there an advantage to reduced voltage lights vs. line voltage lights?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of halogen lights vs. incandescent
lights?

Any comments on which type of recessed lights to use re line voltage or
reducted voltage, type of bulb, etc.?

Thanks.

Dave



How can anyone answer that without knowing the application?





I believe low voltage lights allow wire to run in places not normally
allowable like exposed on the underside of a cabinet. I think low
voltage lights are less efficient as well. But because of the low
voltage there are more styling possibilities.
