Before the UL1838 standard for low voltage lighting was introduced, UL1571 and UL506 were the accepted safety standards in our industry. However, these standards, UL1571 and UL506, were found to be inadequate in the face of emerging low voltage lighting technologies and techniques. Rather than revise two separate documents, UL1838 was developed to address the particular concerns regarding low voltage landscape lighting. At which time requirements regarding low voltage garden lighting were deleted from UL Standards 1571 and 506. When viewed collectively, this information concludes that equipment rated UL1571 and UL506 does not comply with the UL standard for low voltage landscape lighting systems. Versions of UL1571 revised after 1994 specify that the requirements within this standard (UL1571) do not cover low voltage garden lighting. Furthermore, it is not permissible for a UL506 transformer to supply luminaries constructed to UL1838 requirements. UL1838 is the only UL standard that covers low voltage landscape lighting.
