Do low voltage lighting systems look different from line voltage systems?
Yes, in several noticeable ways. The first is that low voltage lamps produce light that is of a better quality than line voltage lamps. The second is that the light from low voltage lamps can be aimed in beams, while light from line voltage systems tends to radiate in all directions. Third, the smaller lamps and fixtures allowed by low voltage can be placed so they are not visible during the day. Finally, due to the low energy requirements for 12 volt lamps, these lamps can be used to illuminate waterscapes, fountains and ponds.
