Low voltage LED lighting

Hi,We're looking into installing low voltage, under cabinetlighting in the kitchen. I assume these are driven witha (variable) constant current source? Or, PWM?Regardless, I plan on locating a switched outlet atopthe cabinetry to power the "power source". Then, someconductors down behind the cabinets terminating atthe underside for attachment to the LED strips.I believe many of these power sources have supportfor an intensity control. I would like to locate thatsomewhere invisible, yet accessible -- most likelyalongside the LED strips on the cabinet undersides.(we don't envision changing this often, once we've determinedthe appropriate intensity level for our needs)I assume this is just a pot? Is it operating at a lowvoltage? (i.e., what Code ramifications pertain?)Would a small gauge wire pair -- possibly in a shield -- besufficient?Lastly, pointers to suitable products? (power + LEDs)Thanks!--don

Same here. However, sometimes the cat is sleeps in the middle of the back hallway. It doesn't help that he's all black.

That is a misrepresentation.

You misunderstood in another similar thread (on seb) where you attacked my post, and did not respond to my reply there.

You have absolutely *NO* idea what I want or do not want. Nor do you any legitimacy when you misrepresent what another person posts.
