... I have a job at a cinema theater,where they have "Tivoli" type,low voltage lights on the floor,designating the aisles and walkways..The "genius" theater owner wants a different look,and bought lengths of LINE VOLTAGE rope lighting he expects me to insert into the channel where the existing low voltage lighting is and he wants to replace..his reason is that he's constantly replacing bulbs,as the high traffic area is given to abuse.He presumes(he was told at a trade show)that these line volt lamps last longer,and the tubing is more resilient to abuse..My take on this is ..I don't think it's a good idea to install this in a public,high traffic area,as it is LINE voltage,and could prove lethal should something go awry..What do you guys think??
