I was contacted recently to repair a 12 volt kitchen under cabinet lighting system. From the transformer located in the attic, low voltage landscape wire was run through the walls to the puck lights. The landscape wire was spliced to the puck light leads inside a false bottom to the cabinet. Is any of this code compliant? Do I need to scrap the system and install something new? Do splices on low voltages lighting systems 30 volts and less need to be in a box? I have not done very much with low voltage lighting in my career. Thank you for any information.
