Why 24 Volts?

12, 24 or 230Volt In the dynamically developing world of new technologies, low voltage 24 Volt is gaining more and more popularity. This is mainly because it is much more efficient and much cheaper than traditional 230 Volt alternating current. Low voltage groups 12 Volt and 24 Volt have been used for years in garden lighting in Western Europe.

Low voltage group 12Volt and 24Volt are both SELV (Safe Extra Low Voltage), which means that there is no risk of electric shock.
The installation can be carried out by anyone and does not require any electrical qualification, provided the system is pluggable.
These benefits apply to both 24 Volt and 12 Volt systems, but Suslight only uses 24 Volt in its LED outdoor lighting for a number of reasons.

Longer distance With 24 Volt, long distance is easy to bridge without a heavy transformer. In addition, 24 Volt has less voltage loss over distance over the same cable than 12 Volt. In addition, a 24 Volt system can always be expanded flexibly, the total power may not exceed 150 Watt. The luminaires can be placed up to 300 meters from the power source. This is not possible with 12 Volt!

Increased circuit length By using 24 Volt, you can easily cover long distances without the need for powerful transformers. The 24 Volt system generates much less voltage drop on the cables compared to the 12 Volt system. The system can be flexibly expanded at any time. Depending on the type of transformer, the total power can be up to 100 watts. The luminaires can be placed up to 300 meters from the power source, which is many times longer than with 12 Volt voltage.

Wider voltage range Our LED components operate on 3, 6, 9 or 12 Volt

Greater stability and reliability The 24 Volt system ensures reliability and stability during use. This is partly because there is a much larger operating range in which voltage losses can occur.
