searching for ucl, in led rgb.
Comments (5)Yes, since commercially available RGB led light strips are not optimized for CRI.... at this point in time. It would be fantastic if there were a linear version of the Philips Hue light bulb. However, the costs are probably prohibitive. For a dimmable LED - either eW profile or the MaxLite would be good candidates to look at. Both are line voltage lights. The thinner the light, the more costly it becomes. If money is not a concern, unilume. Then there is the klauf light bar http://klauf.com/collections/led-lighting-fixtures/products/klauf-light-bar-led-remote-phosphor-anodized-110v...See Moreucl leds
Comments (4)I found a company called Brodwax that has some interesting UCLs. I only looked at direct wired lights. R950-14 (relampable but non dimming) You buy the lamp strip of LEDs separately from the fixture. Then if the LEDs go out you buy a replaceable LED bulb which has the LEDs in place. It has pins on the ends. It reminds me of a long fluorescent bulb. $45.00 - 55.0 for the bulb. S201-24/40 - this light has a rotating LED light bar. You install it, then rotate it to direct the light where you need it. LEDUCM21- 7 watt LSA620 (1 row of LEDs) or LSB620 (with 2rows of LEDs) DL Flex Up is a flexible linear tape lighting system that could be hardwired, but I think there are better and cheaper choices for me. Has anyone looked at these? I read the specs, but electrical stuff seems to go in one ear and out the other when I read. I thought these lights might work in my upper glass cabinets since they need to be connected together. If you have any opinions on these lights, I would love to hear them. Thanks, Peke Here is a link that might be useful: Brodwax...See Morewarm, led ucl light recomendation
Comments (1)There are differences in component quality and hence the price. The cabinet interiors could be lit using either tape lighting or a festoon system like that built by phantom lighting....See Moreled ucl continuation
Comments (142)I've read this stuff until my head is spinning, but I'm UCL-electricity impaired! Please define these terms: splice box transformer power supply junction box Are these four separate things? Here's my situation: I have two runs of upper cabinets on opposite sides of my 13x13 kitchen. One run is separated by a vent hood into two "runs". I told my electrician I wanted one switch to control all UCLs, so he installed a switch under the end of one run of cabinets. At the moment, there is one thick, flat yellow wire sticking out from under each of the three "runs" of cabinets. I showed him the Juno Pro LED lights from HD, and he said he would install the appropriate wiring. Did he install direct wire? Is it too late now for low voltage? Is that yellow wire called Romex? My electrician is not good at communication. He tells me now I can use "his" special "to the trade" tape LEDs even though I thought he had set up my cabinets for direct wire. And I thought all tape LEDs were low-voltage, which requires different wiring, no? For direct wire, I thought I'd only need to purchase one Juno Pro LED fixture to fit under each cabinet, plus some sort of wires to connect each one in each of the three "runs" of cabinets in my kitchen. So I'm very confused about all the references in this thread to junction boxes and splice boxes!! What on earth are those? How many of those do I need? One splice box for each fixture? How many junction boxes? Or will the electrician supply those? I want to buy the lights and everything else I need myself and have my electrician install them. He marks up everything a lot, and I'm getting pretty fed up with his pricing and his inability to communicate clearly. One last question: The Juno Pro LED lights are expensive! I've read elsewhere in this forum that there are Xenon fixtures I can buy (Seagull lighting?) that will take LED lights when I have the money to upgrade. Will the Juno Pro Xenon fixtures (which look identical to the LED fixtures) also take the LED lights? The Juno Pro Xenon fixtures are about 50% cheaper. If I go that route, will the wiring my electrician installed (those big yellow wires and one switch) work as well? Or am I stuck with Juno Pro LEDs or some other expensive LED option? Any advice is appreciated. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown with this renovation, and the UCLs are about to push me over the edge! TIA!...See Moreprttimer
