It came on a roll 5m long from an electronics distributor in Mississauga. I bought the larger (4amp) power supply. There is a slight delay before illumination. I am wondering if through using the smaller power supply (2.5amp) instead this delay would either be shorter or non-existent, since its a smaller set of components inside (capacitors especially) being booted-up each time it receives power from the 110vt switch. I haven't tried the 2.5amp supply yet to see if its any quicker to start. I'd also like to find out if the low-voltage (12vt DC) circuits of such a system can be switched via standard high-voltage (110vt AC) light switches. I don't see why not -other than maybe some internal arcing with extended use. (?)(Circuits could also be fused?) Anyway, it lit the countertops very well especially since they were not glossy countertops, more like the satin finish of a laminate. This diffused the reflection of the LED strip (whose LED's are about 1 inch from each other). These are important in the look of the finished product since you don't want to be looking down at a row of LED's reflected back up at you. By the LED's being so close together it is easier that they all diffuse into a single beam of light when reflected. However if the countertop were glossy I fear that they would be annoyingly visible even at the 1 inch spacing; this is something to think about as we design spaces lit by this new technology that is so very different in its effects from the tubes and point-sources we are used to having around us...JpWarrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805693061694683438.post-48347310941953684412013-07-24T23:49:00.370-07:002013-07-24T23:49:00.370-07:00As you are living at the age to technologies.

Now LEDs & CFLs bulbs have arrived and make a new era in lighting technologies. People often call these as future lighting technology. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.jedlights.com/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">low voltage lighting</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559407103656131464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805693061694683438.post-27199393903132391792013-07-23T08:37:41.095-07:002013-07-23T08:37:41.095-07:00I agree with what you said in this article.

My East York bungalow's plumbing is encased in drywall, screws and mud. Part of the beauty of the low voltage lighting system described above is that the luminaires can be easily removed from the ceiling and since their wires need not have been stapled to the joists, they can be used to pull in new wires or to reconfigure such systems if necessary -via forethought during the initial installation (large holes through joists; strings run during the install allowing optional routes, etc) Hiding infrastructure was fine back when infrastructure didn't change.

These fixtures do not include the AC to DC transformer modules. You supply each fixture with DC only. This allows them a shorter profile also, and it likely means that the top of each fixture can busy itself releasing heat, not trapping that heat within a power supply unit sitting atop the heat producing device. The ones I saw at the green living show a couple years back were barely thicker than a 5/8 inch piece of drywall. I assume that this also means you can use them without a housing meaning more room in the ceiling for insulation. And you can likely wire them with doorbell or thermostat wire, so less copper needed.
