  • Publication number: 20070222399
    Abstract: A system of extra-low voltage outdoor lighting is disclosed in which any number of light fixtures each have an individual control module, internal to the fixture or external to the fixture. The control module allows for the use of a power supply transformer (120 volt AC) manufactured to supply power to the extra-low voltage secondary transmission conductors, ranging from 12 volts up to a maximum of 30 volts AC, thus in some instances carrying voltage which is significantly higher than standard to the said control module. Each extra-low voltage fixture of 12 volts is fed from this over-voltage transformer through extra-low voltage secondary transmission conductors and through the control module, which rectifies the supply voltage to DC and then regulates that same voltage.

  • Publication number: 20060113927
    Abstract: A system of lighting in which a multitude of secondary line extra-low voltage lights each have an individual dimmer control with voltage compensating circuitry. This enables pre-setting of individual brightness for each light in the multitude. The individual lights have substantially spherical housings that allow for partial burial at different angles of illumination. The system is especially suited for garden lighting.
