Can You Put A Switch On Low Voltage Lighting

Also asked can you put low voltage wire with High Voltage.

Can you put a switch on low voltage lighting. AC low voltage lights dont care if theyre DC. It was easier to create a 12VAC transformer than it was to create a DC transformer which made it useful in old systems. If it is a switch mode then do not dim it or choose another lighting fixture with a plain vanilla transformer power supply.

You can connect a string of LED light fixtures up to rating of 1500 Watts on a circuit. I was planning to use an IO Linc to control these lines. Extra 10 off with coupon.

You can use a 24volt ac plug-in transformer with a 24 volt photocell and a 24 volt 50 watt A19 screw base bulb to create a low voltage outdoor post lantern. If you are switching out your old incandescent or halogens and still have the standard dimmer switch then a problem will appear. Youre good to go Save Share.

1 Is your lighting system a switch mode of not. The 120 V that you measure might not be able to carry an appreciable current. Yes you can put a regular switch on a low voltage wire.

I want the control to be on the 12 volt lines going from the transformer to the lights. It blew the fuse on the transformer. In the on position the lighting would be on all the time until the switch is returned to the off position.

In respect to this can you use a dimmer switch on LED lights. While you talk about low voltage lights remember that at 12 volts 142NM romex is only rated for 180 watts and 122NM is 240 watts. Big difference from 120 volts 1800 or 2400 watts respectfully.
