We had fluorescent UC lights in the previous version of our kitchen. Because the layout didn't change a great deal we didn't need to move the wiring or switches. We are at the end of the process. The cabinets, countertops and backsplash are installed. The wiring extends just underneath the bottom of the wall cabinets.

Now we are ready for the UC lights to be installed. We called one the of companies that many at GW have used for LED light strips. They put together a list of the components. The components arrived. We knew that a transformer would be required for our 120v household current. We also knew that we would need two of them for our two 2-way lighting runs.

We open the package, these transformers are huge! The instructions say that they have to be installed vertically, which means they will hang down about 9 inches. They are about 4 inches wide. They can't be installed in the cabinet. The instructions have warnings about heat. Plus, they will clobber the interior. And, my wiring was set up outside the base of the wall cabinets. They are black and my kitchen is all white cabinets, white backsplash and white marble counters. My cabinets have a smallish light rail. Bottom line, these transformers just won't work. I had no idea they would be so big.

I'm going to have to call on Monday and get a return authorization. They just won't work with that transformer.

That brings me to the problem. What do we install? The wiring is on 120v house current. I looked at the Juno Pro LED fixtures with the internal transformers. They would work, but the bill comes to $1,000 without installation. That's a little more than I wanted to spend. I know that I need something that is linkable. I have 14 gauge wiring in the walls. I've got to do something, I can't have seven wires hanging from the walls. That won't pass inspection.

Suggestions?
