Hi,

I've been seeing recently the increasing offers of low voltage (12V)
lighting. At least one disadvantage is real: I need a voltage
transformer (and run the low voltage lines all over the house) to
make it work. But which are the advantage of these over conventional
110V lighting?.

Thanks in advance
Faustino

Safety!
The transformer is a minor disadvantage compared to the benefits in
certaincicumstances.

12V lighting is not subject to some of the same codes of wiring as the 110V
stuff. Yu can runwires in places that would not be allowed. The wires are
thinner and easier for Joe Sixpack to handle. This is a major advantage for
outdoor applications for lighitng a patio or deck.
