Step 1: Selecting a power supply location

■ Locate the power supply in a location that is accessible in the unlikely event of servicing.

■ You can have the transformer hooked up to a wall outlet that is switched or hard wire the transformer directly to a switched circuit as long as you leave access to the transformer per electrical code.

FAQ

1. Can I add additional LED light panel(s)?

Yes. But ensure the wattage of the combined units do not exceed the maximum wattage of the power supply used.

2. Can I combine 6 inch, 12 inch LED light panels, and LED puck lights together as one lighting system?

Yes. But ensure the wattage of the combined units do not exceed the maximum wattage of the power supply used.

3. How many LED light panels are needed for my cabinet?

It differs from person to person. Some people would be satisfied with one 12 inch LED light panel for 36 inch cabinet and some people would be satisfied with two

12 inch LED light panels for 36 inch cabinet. Usually, we recommend one 12 inch LED light panel for cabinet sized about 24 inches (60.96 cm).

4. Would a double sided tape work in lieu of mounting bracket with screws?

Yes, it would work fine since the unit is not heavy at all.

But if the temperature of the surrounding environment is very high, adhesive may lose its adhesion.

Heat resistant is required

FAQ

5. Is in line dimmer switch compatible with a wall on/off switch?

Yes, in line dimmer switch would remember its previous setting of power and brightness. Therefore, it is possible to use with a wall on/off switch to control the brightness with dimmer switch and control the power with wall on/off switch.

6. Can I use a wall dimmer switch?

If you plan to use a wall dimmer switch, you need to do the hardwire installation with dimmable transformer, instead of the included power supply which plugs into wall outlet, due to the voltage difference between the wall dimmer switch (110V) and

LED light panel (24V).

7. How can I do hardwire /direct wire installation?

You would need to splice the power plug from the power cord and connect to the power source with a junction box or something similar. (Note: splicing the cable would void the warranty on unit spliced).
