PNY series commercial luminaires have two systems of High voltage and Low voltage with Magnetic tracking, which is able to put it on or take it off from the rail easily and safer.

Here are the differences between High voltage and low voltage lamps.

High Voltage vs. Low Voltage Lamps

The primary difference between high voltage and low voltage lamps lies in the electrical current they operate on.

High Voltage Lamps

· Voltage: Typically operate at 100-240 volts.

· Common Types: Incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, metal halide lamps, and high-pressure sodium lamps.

· Advantages: Often more efficient and provide higher light output.

· Disadvantages: May require more complex ballasts or drivers for operation.

Low Voltage Lamps

· Voltage: Typically operate at 42-48 volts.

· Common Types: Halogen bulbs, LED lamps, and some types of fluorescent tubes.

· Advantages: Generally safer due to lower voltage, can be more energy-efficient, and offer more flexibility in design and placement.

· Disadvantages: May require a transformer to step down the voltage from the mains supply.

Key Factors to Consider:

· Efficiency: High voltage lamps are often more efficient, but low voltage LED lamps can be highly efficient as well.

· Safety: Low voltage lamps are generally safer due to the lower voltage, making them suitable for applications where safety is a concern.

· Cost: The initial cost of low voltage lamps and their associated transformers may be higher, but long-term energy savings can offset this.

· Application: The specific application will determine the best choice. For example, high voltage lamps are often used for outdoor lighting or large commercial spaces, while low voltage lamps are more common in residential settings and smaller commercial areas.

In summary, while both high voltage and low voltage lamps have their advantages and disadvantages, the choice between them depends on factors such as efficiency, safety, cost, and the specific application.
