I have been told that 12volt lighting uses less electrity than mains 230volt
ie 4off 50 watt 12 volt downlights would use less electricity than 2 off 100 watt 230 volt bulbs and hence be cheaper to run. I am not an electrician but as I see it they both use the same 0.2 KW/h,also a tiny bit of enegy must be lost through the 12 volts transformer.
would someone please explain which is correct.
thanks for a great guys its realy interesting
