1. A method of reducing the quantity of conductor required to implement a low voltage, voltage limited lighting system comprising the steps of:

  • coupling a power output of a first electrical network to a power input of a second electrical network, the first electrical network receiving power from an alternating current source;

    controlling a semiconductor switch within the first electrical network to vary, within a power range, the power exchanged between the first electrical network and the second electrical network; and

    ,operating a low voltage electrical lighting device within the second electrical network from power supplied by the first electrical network wherein for at least a portion of the power range, the ratio of the maximum instantaneous voltage to the RMS voltage as measured at the power output is less than 1.414.
