Why Low-Voltage and not 110 Volt?
Problems... |
Solutions
|
...Standard 110v bulb sockets act like a cup, trapping moisture caused by a well ventilated gas lamp head corroding the socket and blowing bulbs when activated.
|
The Charm-Lite inverted bulb socket repels moisture. Bulb sockets made of Copper improves bulb life by dispersing bulb heat while simulating a two-mantel gaslight avoiding corrosion rain or shine.
|
...At 110 volts, a short will energize the yard light, giving the danger of a shock if touched.
NEC and UL require all 110 volt lamp heads must be NEMA approved fixtures.
|
Low 24 Volt is safe and easy to install. You just plug it in! No Lic. required.
|
...If lightning strikes close enough, the surge of voltage can travel through the circuit like a lightning rod and destroy electrical products plugged in the home. |
Protect your house with Charm-Lite's isolated secondary transformer and PTC Short Circuit Protection. |
You also have a choice of LED bulbs with choices in brightness for a 50% discount. We highly recommend you take advantage of the LED bulbs as they last over 5 years and cost less than $4 per year in electricity. They are all a warm white in color rendering with that "Looks like a Gas Light" woof and warp of a gas mantle. You will need to order gas caps, plugs, and wire, separately.
The copper will patina. We use inhibitors to slow the process your bulb tree will age over a lifetime to a beautiful old world finish. Comes with a standard 1.5" all threaded mount or upgrade to extended 3" threads necessary for a boulevard lamp available upon request.
