Are you using 18/2 thermostat wire?

Loved your video, I must of missed how you hid the wire from the back of the upper to the light. Can you please share what you did?

If Im understanding your question correctly, I took the upper cabinets off the wall, put a hole in the drywall where the bottom and top of the cabinet would be, and then fished the wire behind the drywall.

Nice video, it's tough to find projects that are hard-wired to the house and not just plugged in. I do have two questions: 1) Why use a transformer rather than an adapter? I don't really understand this piece of installing LEDs, aside from "don't let LEDs use direct wall power" 2) What tool did you use to drill a hole into the aluminum channels?

If Im thinking of the adapter you are thinking of then the adapter and transformer do the same job. The difference is the transformer would be hard wired in, and is made to be mounted or hiden. With the adapter you would essentially have to plug it in. The reason you dont want to plug LED right into a wall is becuase your home is wired for AC (Alternating Current) whereas LEDs use DC (Direct Current). The tool that used to drill the hole is just a basic drill bit. Since they are aluminum, they are pretty easy to drill through.

Thanks for the response! I ended up going with the (MUCH less expensive) adapter hard-wired into my house. It's been working out great.

I got excited because I saw you already had a backsplash installed, so I figured you were going to give advice on how to do this without tearing down your backsplash (which is exactly my situation)…. only to realize you filmed this before you installed your backsplash. 😭

You mentioned adding a dimmer, but we don't see that in the video. Can you do the dimmer with the transformer?
@DIYDeclassified
@DIYDeclassified 11 ай бұрын
Yes. Most transforms have dimming capabilities, and should have it listed as dimmable. The manufacturer of the transformer will usually have a list of specific dimmer brands.

Looks awesome! Looking to do a similar project for the in-laws. Any chance you can provide a general parts lists for the dimmer switch and transformer? Also any recommendations for kitchens that already have a backsplash?

Thank you for watching. I am currently working to get parts lists put together. For a kitchen with a backsplash you may have to get really creative. Instead of going under the cabinets, you might have to go over, or through.

Did you just run the Romex wire through the wall to the driver?
@bigmouthbuffalo
@bigmouthbuffalo 2 ай бұрын
He definitey did run Romex behind the wall from the light switch and he definitely did get it out of the wall to the driver. Would be nice to see how he ran it out of the wall in a way that would pass code. Is exposed Romex above the cabinet to code?

Looking to do something similar. New cabinets will be installed in a couple weeks. Where did you get the extrusions & lenses you mounted your led strips in?
@DIYDeclassified

I found them on Amazon. Look for LED Aluminum Rails.

What is the wire you are using to connect all the LED lights together? A list of products used in the description section would be 100% appreciated.

All the lighting products I used came directly from supplier I mentioned in the video, so I dont have links to the individual items...yet. I am working on getting everything listed and linked to Amazon for added convienece. If you look on Amazon, look for "LED Light Strip Connectors." That will lead you down the correct rabbit hole.
