Best Answer

Lighting systems are available in a variety of voltages. The standard used by most gardeners is 120 volts / 60 Hz which plugs into a standard wall outlet. Other voltages may require special circuits and receptacles. Always contact a licensed electrician if the light you purchased has special voltage requirements and never exceed more than 75% of the rated ability of the fuse/breaker. (For example: use no more than 15 amps on a 20-amp circuit.)

How can you convert the low voltage wiring of a lighted house number sign usually found in front of the garage to wiring for a regular light fixture?

Without seeing the actual installation, there are too many variables, so here's my best answer: -------------------------- The wiring would have to meet the following rules: 1) It has to be installed as specified in Article 300 (Wiring Methods) of the National Electrical Code. 2) It has to be in accordance with Article 310, Conductors for General Wiring. And: 3) The new fixture needs to be installed in accordance with Article 410. If it is a low-voltage sign, it may or may not have been installed to meet article 300, and it is likely not in accordance with article 310 as it would apply to wiring used at 120 volts. The reason for this is that low voltage lighting requirements are more lax than 'normal' lighting system requirements. Low voltage requirements are found in Article 411 of the NEC.
