Low voltage light sources give you more choices, will save energy, will give more light and will last longer than their 120V incandescent counterparts.
An incandescent A style bulb has no control; it gives light in all directions – a “blob” distribution. An incandescent PAR bulb has a parabolic aluminum reflector and can produce distributions from narrow spot to wide flood. A low voltage MR16 bulb can produce precise beam patterns allowing you to control and direct the light on the task plane.
Low voltage will give you more lumens per watt and produces a whiter brighter light than incandescent. Plus, they have a longer lamp life. Take a look at this comparison:
A 12V 50W bi-pin halogen bulb produces 1000 lumens with an average life of 2000 hours compared to a 120V 50W bi-pin halogen bulb which produces 700 lumens with an average life of 1500 hours.
