Great question! Aside from obvious 110 volts versus 12 electrocution hazard, are low voltage lights (specifically halogen) less hot than the line voltage halogens? I assume low voltage would be cheaper to operate but could be wrong there to...anybody know for sure?

Electrical - AC & DC
plugging in a 3 prong cord into a 2 prong outlet

I just bought a steam bullet cleaner. It comes with a 3-prong plug and says not to use an extension cord. However, I wanted to use this in my upstairs bedroom which doesn't have 3-prong outlets (it is an old house). Can I still use it upstairs if I use a surge protector type extension cord or should I not use it. I bought it specifically to clean the bathroom & bedroom upstairs. Bummer. Thanks for the advice. I am new to this board. *If I use the little grey adaptor, do I run the risk of having it melt?

I'm trying to install surface wiring. Do I need to come out of the existing service panel to start my wiring? Or do I start a new service box? :)
