Our LED low voltage recessed lighting line contains both 4” 12V LED MR16 downlight retrofit kits and canless 12V dimmable LED wafer light fixtures. These 12 volt lights are a sleek and energy efficient solution for general lighting in low voltage recessed lighting installation applications. Common use cases for low voltage recessed lighting fixtures include outdoor under-eave and soffit lighting along with general lighting indoors for bathrooms and kitchens . There are two primary types of 12V LED recessed lighting: MR16 LED retrofit kits and low voltage wafer lights, also known as low voltage canless led recessed lights. MR16 retrofit LED downlights fit into existing 12V housings with a 12V MR16 GU5.3 socket. The canless 12V led recessed downlights include a junction box and do not require any recessed housings. Both options offer a longer lasting and more energy efficient alternative to halogen or incandescent 12V light bulbs.
FAQs
Low voltage recessed lighting refers to recessed lighting fixtures specifically designed to operate on 12V low voltage rather than the standard 120V line voltage. 12V LED light systems offer enhanced safety and flexibility, making them a popular choice for recessed lighting applications. 12V LED retrofit kits fit into existing ceiling recessed housings, making them ideal for upgrading older fixtures without major modifications, while 12v led light wafer led recessed lights eliminate the need for traditional cans, offering a sleek, space-saving installation in new constructions or places with shallow ceilings.
Low voltage recessed lights use a 12v transformer, while line voltage fixtures run directly on 120V household current. 12V LED recessed downlights require a 120V to 12V transformer and are used in low voltage soffit lighting, cabinet lighting, or areas with limited space where low voltage wiring is preferred. One advantage of 12V recessed lights is that they allow for smaller, more flexible wiring, making them easier to install in tight areas. Canless low voltage downlights provide a versatile option for space-conscious lighting designs while retrofit low voltage recessed lighting kits act as a direct replacement to existing 12 volt can lights
Yes 12 volt led lights are common in commercial and residential low voltage lighting projects They require a l12V transformer to convert standard 120V line voltage to 12 volts. Since 12 volt recessed lighting operates at low voltage than 120V, it reduces the risk of serious injury from electric shock in damp environments, which makes 12V recessed lighting a popular choice for bathroom and kitchen lighting setups. Recessed 12V light fixtures are commonly used outdoors as low voltage soffit lights, and to illuminate covered patios and entryways. Whether you are looking for a 12V recessed light system for indoor or outdoor use, look for low voltage LED recessed ceiling lights with integrated LEDs for low voltage home lighting projects.
