I would venture a guess that a "switching" transformer is a power supply that
makes 12v or 24v DC output. Most of the people I have written to and the plans
I have read for 12v to 40v AC ouput since it is cheaper to build.
As far as safety goes I don't think there is really much difference at these
voltage levels between AC and DC.

I know, it's pretty eclectic, that is one of it's attractions. :-)
