Ah, xenon sounds good then. Wouldn't line voltage keep things
simpler
and allow you to use smaller wire, too, since it'll draw 1/10 of the
current? (assuming 120 volt vs. 12 volt)

Sounds like it...

Although I still don't understand why would the manufacturers go into
all this trouble of integrating the transformer in every fixture (thus
complicating its design, and probably compromising reliability).

Maybe I am missing something important.
