Halo LED under cabinet lights - bueno?
Comments (1)Do you mean the HU10 LED undercabinet? If so, it's 1 1/4" tall and will probably show. Here is a link that might be useful: HU10...See Moreled under cabinet lighting with no light switch.
Comments (2)lexmomof3, I think you're right that in this day and age, installing the newer types of LED lighting,which in your case is well known Maxlite, listed as dimmable, is just...unbelievable. I am hoping there is something he hasn't told you about his circuit, something he can add, amend or re-do. If not him (as this is highly...unprofessional to leave a client to have to suspend the light by pulling off the plug from the bar), then I suggest you get in another electrician in to attempt to place a switch and withhold final payment in the interim to the first. I am sorry that communication problems have crept into your kitchen lighting, with now the back splash in too. You might call your lighting retailer and ask for assistance too....See MoreWhere to find power connectors for the LED under cabinet lights?
Comments (17)I don't think the connectors "flyingkite" was going to use would work. I believe they are a 6.3mm pitch. The parts used for the interconnecting cables are difficult to find in small quantities. Here is some generic information. The connectors have a 4.5mm pitch. Extraction Tool - Waldom W-HT-2285P .062" Use this to remove the pins/terminals from the connector housing. Just google the model number to find suppliers of your choice.The tool worked very well and did not damage the pins should you wish to re-insert them after removal. The pins/terminals are more difficult to find in small quantities, but there is a seller on Ebay named kikiwave who sold the 2 position and 3 position connectors, complete with male and female connector housings including the male and female terminals. There are 10 units in each set for under $6/set. I made a long link cable by cutting the longer AC plug cable to size, crimping on new terminals and inserting them into the appropriate connector. I shortened some other link cables in the same manner. Having purchased 4 LED lights, I had 4 AC plug cables and 4 link cables which provided enough stock parts so I never used any of the purchased housings, just the female pins. Crimping the pins onto the wire was a bit challenging. I did not have the exact tool required but I did achieve a good mechanical and electrical connection. The installation is much cleaner and neater with custom link and power cables....See MoreLED under cabinet lights with remote - recommendations please
Comments (2)The switched outlet is a great idea, because it will give us the flexibility to decide on the brand of LED lights, we'll just have to run the wiring from the outlets to be moved/hidden above the 30" cabinet boxes. I need to find an electrician in time with our tight schedule to get this done. Incidentally, the remotes from Ikea and Armacost lighting are about $20....See Morelightguy
