What is a New-Construction Recessed Housing?

A low-voltage housing requires lower power input than the standard 110V/120V found in most homes requiring the use of a voltage transformer. Many housings have integrated transformers which convert Line-Voltage (120V) to Low-Voltage (12V), which other housing need a remote transformer.Low-Voltage lighting is best suited for applications such as accent lighting but is also used for general lighting.

For reflector bulbs like an R20 or an MR16, Lux is more important than Lumens. Lux is a measurement of light on a surface. Reflector bulbs are available with different beam spreads. A bulb with the same wattage and a narrower beam will have a higher Lux. If you are lighting an object from a distance you may be able to choose a lower wattage reflector bulb with a narrow beam to save money on electricity.

Halogen bulbs produce a whiter light and are 10 to 20% more efficient than regular incandescent bulbs. Halogen can produce more light with a smaller bulb, and are often used in modern fixtures with sleek designs. Both types of bulbs can last as long as 6000 hours on average, but halogen bulbs tend to be more expensive to replace. If you need more light from an existing lamp there are halogen bulbs designed to replace most regular incandescent bulbs.
