I bought the 120 volt version, but wish I would have bought the 12 volt. The 120 volt light does not have the option of having a directional spot. It is very bright, so bright it is hard to look at. It provides light in all directions, and I had to put a dimmer on it. Then the light becomes rather useless as a task light. The 12 volt would have provided the directional spot I was looking for an application over an island. I think I would have rated the 12 volt spot as a 4+. The quality doesn't quite measure up to a similar product made by Kovacs.
