What is Low Voltage Lighting?
Low voltage lighting was originally created to facilitate safe outdoor landscape lighting. This technology works by using an LED driver or transformer to reduce the voltage to 24v, 12v, or lower. The driver can be built into the light fitting itself or installed separately, but its presence is essential for the operation of the light. At Aqua-Bright, we specialize in installing and servicing FX Luminaire brand low voltage lighting. Our lighting systems come in various designs based on your home’s exterior style. In fact, these systems can be installed around pools, walkways, decks, trees, and shrubs.

Benefits of Low Voltage Lighting
Safety
One of the most significant benefits of low voltage lighting is that it is much safer than traditional lighting. A system with 12v of power ensures that you and your guests are protected from shocks if they mistakenly touch something. They also provide a safer option for outdoor lighting that won’t pose a hazard when exposed to rain and moisture.
Longer Lifespan
Now that LED is becoming a more popular form of low voltage lighting, the combination of the lower wattage and LED technology creates longer-lasting bulbs when compared with incandescent and halogen bulbs. LEDs are also more energy-efficient, requiring less energy to provide the same levels of light and requiring less frequent replacing.
