What Is Low Voltage Undercabinet Lighting?
Low voltage undercabinet lighting uses a transformer to reduce standard household power (120 volts) down to a lower, safer voltage—typically 12V or 24V. This type of lighting is commonly used for LED strip systems.
Low voltage lighting is popular because it is energy efficient, runs cooler, and allows for a clean, modern installation. It also makes it easier to hide the lighting source under cabinets, creating a smooth, even glow without visible fixtures.
