I was wondering if someone could guide me in the direction towards choosing an LED dimmer for the lights I have in my kitchen. While I like the look of lights under the cabinets, they're simply too bright and I would like to turn them down if possible. There are four 24-inch strip lights along with one puck-shaped unit installed in my kitchen. They're all wired together down to my basement where they plug into an outlet. This outlet is controlled via a light switch in the kitchen. When the light switch is flipped on, the outlet is powered and the lights are turned on. I did buy something at Home Depot which I installed in the basement. The lights plugged into this dimmer and the dimmer would then plug into the outlet. However, it didn't work. It made a buzzing sound and the lights wouldn't dim, but as I slid the dimmer down to the off position, the lights would turn off. So they could go either on or off but nothing in between. Below is an image with the strip lights, the puck light, the wiring and outlet in the basement, and the dimmer I purchased from Home Depot that wouldn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a light switch that operates an outlet. I hooked up a new ceiling fan with light to the switch. How do i make the ceiling fan work on the switch and not the outlet. I want the outlet Hot all the time. Thanks Dan
