What is the difference between line voltage and low voltage?

Line voltage in the United States is 120 volts. It is the voltage that is supplied to your
home or office. Low voltage is less than the supplied voltage. Some lamps, like
MR16 lamps, run on low voltage. Getting low voltage to lamps
requires that the supplied electricity (at 120 V) passes through a transformer to reduce
it prior to operating the lamp.
