Which section of the NEC says Low voltage is safer than high voltage.
You can quote the verbage here, " "

I wonder why sidewalk lighting is low voltage?
Seems like it should be 880vac for safety.


They don't seem to 'get' that although - yes - the 277V service might be
capable of delivering less current than the 240 (but not necessarily), it
can still deliver thousands of times more than necessary to fry off any
appendage you want to name.
