Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a commercial low-voltage lighting system?

  A commercial low-voltage lighting system uses lighting fixtures that operate at a lower voltage than standard commercial lighting—typically 12V or 24V instead of 120V. As commercial electricians, we install these systems in offices, retail spaces, hotels, and more.

  They’re popular because they’re energy-efficient, safer to maintain, and flexible in design. A well-designed system from a licensed commercial electrical contractor can include:

  • LED fixtures
  • Step-down transformers
  • Control systems (timers, sensors, dimmers)
  • Architectural and accent lighting

  Low-voltage lighting is ideal for areas where ambiance, energy savings, or focused illumination are important. For example, restaurants often use low-voltage lights for the atmosphere, while offices use them for task lighting.

  When we install these systems, we ensure full compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), working closely with facility managers and lighting designers to tailor the setup to your building’s needs.

  We also offer maintenance plans and emergency services to keep your lighting reliable long-term.

• How much does it cost to install low-voltage lighting in commercial buildings?

  The cost of low-voltage lighting installation in a commercial setting can vary depending on the building size, lighting goals, and system complexity. As a trusted commercial electrical contractor, we always provide transparent estimates tailored to your property.

  Here’s what can affect your cost:

  • Number of fixtures
  • Type of fixtures – LED, recessed, track, etc.
  • Control system integration – Smart controls or basic timers
  • Wiring requirements – New cabling vs. retrofit
  • Transformer needs

  On average, installation costs can range from $4 to $12 per square foot, but that’s just a ballpark. A full system with dimmable controls or architectural lighting features will increase the price. At Daven Electric Corp., we work with commercial property owners and facility managers to create accurate, itemized quotes.

• Why should I consider low voltage lighting for my commercial property?

  Choosing low voltage lighting for your commercial building has several benefits—and at Daven Electric Corp., we’ve helped many clients across New York City make the switch. As your commercial electrical contractor, here’s why we recommend it:

  ✅ Energy Efficiency – Save on electricity with low wattage lighting solutions and Energy Star-approved fixtures.

  ✅ Safety – Reduced voltage means reduced fire risk. Great for public areas.

  ✅ Flexibility – Easy to reposition or expand the system as your layout changes.

  ✅ Design Possibilities – Use architectural lighting or commercial accent lighting to set the mood or highlight key areas.

  ✅ Longevity – LED systems last longer with fewer replacements.

  Our commercial electricians install these systems with precision, ensuring long-term performance and full code compliance. Plus, we offer warranties and emergency services if something goes wrong.

  Whether it’s a retail space, office, or restaurant, low voltage lighting offers long-term value—both in savings and style.

• What are the disadvantages of low-voltage lighting?

  While commercial low-voltage lighting systems offer great benefits, it’s important to consider the limitations too. At Daven Electric Corp., we’re honest about the pros and cons so you can make informed decisions with your commercial electrician.

  Here are some potential disadvantages:

  • Upfront cost – Initial installation can be more expensive due to transformers and specialized fixtures.
  • Voltage drop – Over long wiring runs, voltage loss can affect performance if not properly planned.
  • Transformer dependency – A faulty transformer can take down multiple lights at once.
  • Limited brightness – Not ideal for large spaces needing high lumens without careful layout design.

  That said, a skilled commercial electrical contractor can design your system to avoid these issues. We use high-quality materials, calculate voltage loads correctly, and provide long-term support through maintenance and repair services.

  With the right planning, low-voltage systems remain a smart, modern solution for many commercial properties.

• What are the common types of low voltage lighting fixtures used in commercial settings?

  At Daven Electric Corp., we install a wide variety of low-voltage lighting fixtures for commercial buildings. As your commercial electrician, we ensure that each fixture type fits your space, goals, and energy needs.

  Common low-voltage fixtures include:

  • Track Lighting – Perfect for retail or gallery spaces where flexibility and focus matter.
  • Recessed Lights – Clean, modern, and ideal for office ceilings.
  • Pendant Lighting – Great for high-ceiling lobbies and meeting rooms.
  • Under-Cabinet or Shelf Lighting – Used in commercial kitchens, labs, or retail displays.
  • Landscape and Outdoor Lighting – Add security and style to building exteriors.
  • LED Strip Lighting – Popular for signage, displays, and ambiance.

  All of these fixtures are available in energy-efficient models, often dimmable and compatible with lighting control systems. We design and install every system to meet IES standards and support low voltage wiring and power supply that’s safe and sustainable.
