Know more about Low Voltage Lighting
If you look around your house, you'll notice that too many light fixtures are directly connected to your electrical system's line voltage. Line voltage, which is mostly known as the household current, is the standard voltage 240V (high voltage) found in outlets and junction boxes in Australia. Many types of traditional lighting, including ceiling lighting and wall sconces, use line voltage fixtures.
Low voltage lights use less than 50 volts of power (typically 12 or 24 volts). What you will see in our collection here are 12V and features LED, making them extremely energy efficient.
12V lighting uses transformers to convert the standard 240V from your mains power into 12 volts. Or you will hear such terms, drivers, power packs, or inverters that reduce the line voltage from high to low. This is most commonly used for outdoor lighting.
Put yourself at ease as it is only simple to install transformers. Simply plug it into any GFCI outlet, this will protect your outlets from moisture. You can choose to mount the unit on the side of your house or under a deck, or you can keep it in a shed. Cables can be placed on the ground surface, pass around on fences or walls, or conceal them behind features.

Pairing path lights with entryway lights can help increase pathway illumination and shed some extra light near the door of your home.
Spotlights and low-voltage well-lights are great for providing additional lighting around your home. Spotlights can be used to light up your driveway, sculptures, or even brickwork on walls.
