Is 13W Compact Fluorescent Low Voltage Lighting?
The description for this Maxim Lighting Cosmopolitan EF Traditional Pendant Light - MX-89052-FI-GC states that the lamping required is 13W compact fluorescent. It this considered to be low voltage lighting fixture?
Answer: The 13W compact fluorescent indicates energy saving lighting that is still line voltage, but it has a ballast which converts the energy. 13W of fluorescent light is equivalent to about 60W of incandescent lighting. Low voltage lighting transforms the line voltage of 120V down to 12V, thus you would only be able to use a maximum amount of wattage dependent on the light fixture.
