ElectricalElectrical Code Compliance4HighElectrician$ implied
Need to use line-to-line 240V for universal voltage rated LED lighting to reduce voltage drop without costly transformer, but unsure if it's safe and compliant.
Manufacturer is unresponsive (Shenzhen) and unable to confirm if line-to-line voltage is acceptable; step-up transformer is too expensive for non-profit client.
