Experience the future of lighting.
ATX LED lighting systems use low-voltage DC power for energy-efficient illumination. A central power supply converts standard AC power to low-voltage DC, which is then distributed to long-lasting LED fixtures using thin 18AWG low-copper wire. This system offers easy installation, smooth dimming, and significant savings in both energy and material costs.
How to Wire
ATX LED’s DC technology is the future of home lighting.
Today’s LEDs, solar panels, and batteries thrive on low-voltage DC power, yet homes remain stuck with outdated high-voltage AC systems. This inefficient back-and-forth conversion wastes energy, produces heat, and reduces fixture longevity. ATX LED changes the game by delivering DC power directly, maximizing efficiency, keeping lights cooler, and ensuring they last longer.
The move to DC goes beyond energy savings—it’s a leap toward smarter, more efficient homes. Lightweight, low-gauge wiring simplifies installation and cuts costs, while smooth dimming and Circadian lighting enhance comfort and well-being. As renewable energy like solar grows, DC becomes the natural solution for a future-ready home.
FAQs

What Is Low Voltage DC Lighting?
Low voltage lighting, as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC), operates on Class 2 circuits, which are limited to 100 watts. These circuits use non-hazardous Class 2 wiring methods, making them safer and easier to install. Compared to higher voltage systems, they pose significantly lower risks of shock, arc faults, and fire hazards. According to the ISA (International Society of Automation), Implementing Class 2 principles with the right devices brings functional benefits, lowers the total installed cost, and improves safety for users and equipment.
What Are the Advantages of DC Lighting?
ATX LED’s direct low-voltage DC connection keeps lights cooler, extending their lifespan and enhancing performance. The constant-current design ensures smooth, flicker-free dimming, creating a superior lighting experience. With programmable color-tuning that aligns with natural Circadian rhythms, ATX LED offers the healthiest, most advanced lighting solution for modern home construction.
Why ATX LED Low Voltage DC Lighting?
- Power Simplified: Conversion happens once, at the source.
- Smarter Wiring: Low voltage enables the use of lower-gauge, cost-effective wiring.
- Maximized Efficiency: LEDs finally deliver on their full energy-saving potential.
- Unmatched Longevity: Fixtures last 50,000+ hours, truly built to endure.
- Simple & Smart Controls: Seamlessly manage brightness, scheduling, and color temperature for the perfect ambiance.
Why is it better than High Voltage 120V AC Lighting?
- Centralized Efficiency: Unlike high-voltage systems that convert power at each fixture, ATX LED converts it once at the source, streamlining the entire system.
- Cooler, Longer-Lasting Fixtures: High-voltage lights run hot, leading to faster burnout, while ATX LED’s low-voltage DC keeps fixtures cooler and lasting 50,000+ hours.
- Smarter Wiring: Traditional 120 V systems require expensive, heavy-gauge wiring, while ATX LED uses lightweight, lower-cost wiring for easier installation.
- Flawless Dimming: Say goodbye to flicker—our constant-current design eliminates dimmer compatibility issues, delivering smooth, reliable lighting every time.
Does the ATX LED DC Lighting System Save Power and Energy?
The ATX LED system saves power and energy by optimizing every step of the lighting process:
- Eliminating Inefficient Conversions: Traditional systems convert high-voltage AC to low-voltage DC at each fixture, wasting energy as heat. ATX LED converts power once at the source, minimizing energy loss.
- Using Low-Voltage Wiring: Low-voltage DC power is more efficient to distribute, reducing energy losses across the home.
- Maximizing LED Efficiency: LEDs achieve their best energy efficiency when powered directly by constant-current low-voltage DC, avoiding the inefficiencies of traditional drivers.
- Cooler Operation: Because fixtures run cooler, less energy is wasted as heat, extending the lifespan of the LEDs and reducing cooling costs in the home.
- Smart Control: Programmable dimming and Circadian lighting ensure lights are only as bright as needed, cutting unnecessary energy use.
These innovations allow ATX LED to unlock the full energy-saving potential of LED technology while reducing overall power consumption.
