Are there any significant differences between low voltage & 110 volt halogen lighting? By low voltage, I mean the halogen lights that use a transformer to step down the 110 volt house current to a lower voltage, anywhere from 10 to 50 volts. Is the lower voltage primarily for safety, as in an outdoor location, or an indoor location that is wet? Alternatively, does lower voltage increase bulb life? Or possibly, is lower voltage employed to make it possible to use smaller light fixtures? If there is a longer expected bulb life with lower voltage, the additional cost of the transformer must be balanced against the savings of extended bulb life. Do you know of any published studies on the balance of cost and savings? I intend to install lights under the cabinets, in a kitchen.What do you recommend?

Low voltage lighting is a great way to have bright light and save energy.  LOW VOLTAGE UNDER CABINET LIGHTS are low profile, and will give you years of enjoyment.  Anytime you lower the wattage, you save on energy.  This is true by just using a DIMMER CONTROL SWITCH.  Dimming a light by 10% actually doubles the lamp life of a standard incandescent lamps.  See our DIMMER FAQ'S for more information.
