Installing Under Cabinet Lighting

I'm remodeling my kitchen and I have a question about running the low-voltage wiring for the under cabinet lighting. Do I just want to wire an outlet at the top of the cabinet, which is connected to a switch. Then run a low-voltage wire in the wall from the top to the bottom of the cabinet for the lights. Then I can plug the transformer into the outlet at the top of the cabinet, which would then be connected to the low-voltage wire running in the wall.

Is there a better way of accomplishing this task?

Thanks,

Sounds like a good plan.

Hope this helps.

Make sure your low volt wire is rated to run in-wall. In my state we've had problems with this issue.

Is there a way to view real time energy use??

I

Infidel on Apr 21, 2003

Greetings all, nice forum you have here. I would like to be able to know how many KWH I am using at various time of the day without having to go outside to check the meter. Is there any way to get some sort of real time digital readout inside a house that would let me know how much I'm using as I'm using it. My goal is to become more aware of where my energy usage is going and keep an eye on it during day to day activities. Thanks for any help Tim

Fluorescent Fixture Problem

jkitc on Apr 21, 2003

Hello I have just registered so this is my first Post. In the kitchen of my condo I have 4 recessed fluorescent fixtures. One of the the fixtures has been giving me a problem in that I have to keep replacing the tubes often. :mad: I can put in two new tubes and if they last a week I am doing good. Why does this one fixture keep blowing tubes? And more importantly how can I fix this. I have lived here a year, and have not replaced any of the other lights. What is the Moved: in front of the suject of my message? Thank you jkitc [COLOR=red]Moved:[/COLOR]
