In today’s world, a well-illuminated home is the most effective theft deterrent. Lighting is also essential in your business to keep your employees safe through emergencies. We know the day-to-day hustle is expensive, so adding these amenities to your home or business may seem like a stretch. But, when you utilize lighting over low voltage, you can save energy and money. At Rivas TechGroup, we are a verified PoEWit dealer and offer complete lighting solutions using low-voltage electric plans. Not sure if low voltage lighting is suitable for you? Let’s look at the benefits it can bring to your home or business! What is Low Voltage Lighting? Low-voltage lighting is typically used outdoors but is becoming more popular indoors. If the wire for a 120-volt light source is exposed or gets wet, it can be dangerous for someone to come in contact with. However, low-voltage lighting is either 24-volt or 12-volt and is much safer than traditional wiring. A rule of thumb is, if your lights are somewhere where the wiring could become exposed and hazardous, it’s always better to opt for low voltage. Benefits of Lighting Over Low Voltage Lighting over low voltage can bring many benefits to your home and business. This method introduces energy and cost savings, safer options for your family members or employees, and significant heat reduction. Energy and Cost Savings Low-voltage lighting can emit as much light as an incandescent bulb while using only 20% of the energy. Lower voltage bulbs also work well with dimmer switches, which helps with energy efficiency and allows you to save money on your energy bills. Additionally, the lower voltage does not require a licensed electrician installation. Not only will you save on bills, but also the installation of your new lights. Some light fixtures come with mini-transformers attached, which can ultimately stack on the price. Specific low-voltage light fixtures don’t have to use additional transformers and are cheaper in the long run. These will be yet another area of saving for you!
