Related questions
Low-voltage vs line-voltage?
Low-voltage (12V) is the standard residential scope and does NOT require an OCILB Electrical contractor. Line-voltage (120V) work DOES — overlaps with the electrician trade.
LED or halogen?
LED. LED fixtures last 50,000+ hours vs 2,000 hours for halogen, and use 1/5 the wattage.
