It all originates from the 120/240v service so it's just a matter of what transformer you use. The difference from 12 to 19.7 volt is not that much and 12 volt is much more common. As I said, I'm sure there was a reason they made the lamp 19.7V, but I'm not familiar with the system or the use of that voltage for anything.
