I installed them when we reno’d the kitchen 4 years ago. Worked fine until a few months ago when they started to go on an off intermittently. I thought it was a faulty switch, because they would come back on when I jiggled it. I replaced the switch, and it seemed to work at first, but a day later, they are cutting out again.

The connection to the transformer is above the cabinets in a well ventilated area.

Any ideas?

I have under cabinet lights that are supposed to be able to work with several strung together but if I put even two together the second one doesn’t work. Each light does work when plugged in individualy. There is no transformer they just have a direct plug in the wall cord.

I bought a 5-light Xenon puck kit (Utilitech) for under cabinet install. The kit comes with a transformer and dimmer. A cable with 5 plugs that attach to each puck comes from the transformer. For the space we’re putting these, 4 lights work out perfect, 5 is too much. I can disconnect individual lights but I loose some dimming. Does anyone know if it’s safe to run the kit this way? The transformer output is 60watt, each light is 10watt.

I work for a company that during lunch hours and other select times they turn off the lights because it is suppose to conserve energy and save money. Now we do have under cabinet lights in our cubicle and they do have emergency lighting on but it is still very dark inside. Are companies aloud to do this?

Which are the best lights to buy to light my kitchen with over the counter lighting? I need them to be low profile as I’ve had a heck of a time trying to find stain to match my cabinets for moulding to cover the existing lights. They also need to be bright enough to light up the kitchen. I was also thinking of going under the cabinet but I’m afraid the lights won’t be bright enough to light INSIDE the cabinets. I do however have a fan with a light that hangs from the ceiling.

I have halogen under cabinet lights that go out after burning about ten minutes. I assume the transformer is overheating. Would changing to lED lights stop this problem? Can I use the existing wiring and transformer and just replace the fixture?

i suppose another option would be to tap off of a power outlet? i have a power outlet in one of my cabinets (i suppose its meant for a microwave, but the outlet isnt being used). is that allowable? i have heard that code does not allow you to tap off of circuits for receptacles in the kitchen unless you’re adding more receptacles (as in, must be only receptacles not lights). am i right?
i have a fairly new kitchen, with a fairly new tiled backsplash. however, i dont have undercabinet lights. the kitchen is against an outside wall, and the panel is below the kitchen in the basement. the basement is finished though, with a drywalled ceiling. how would you advise i run wire from the panel to the kitchen?
my idea is i run wire from the panel, through the wall to the outside, then up the wall, and through another hole into my kitchen. my cabinets have crown moulding on the top, so i could place a junction box up there, then run my wiring through the cabinets and just tack it in place. as for a switch for the lights, i would install it on the bottom of the upper cabinets (i have moulding on the bottom of my cabinets to hide wiring, fixtures, switch). does this sound advisable, or is there anyother way? the only other junction boxes i would tap off of are in my lower cabinets (for cooktop), and i dont want to have to cut into my backsplash!

i realize there are non-hardwired cabinet lights, but my problem is that the cabinets are not continouous, there are 3 sets of cabinets seperated by a window, and then a range hood and stainless steel backsplash. and if i were to install a non-hardwired system i would have to have it plugged into 3 recetacles and have 3 switches! thats too much for me.

any ideas???
