| Going to put some LED strips under my cabinets. Will have three separate runs of upper cabinets. Am looking at using the following strips.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage &category=BARS&Page2Disp=/specs/FLSX3.htm#photos Not sure if I want cool white, natural white, or warm white yet. Any suggestions? The kitchen has mostly recessed incandescent lights and a few pendants. Anyway, I have a switch that supplies two of the sections together, left and right of range, and another switch for the third section. The switch controls power to a duplex outlet mounted on top of cabinets. My question is what would I need to be able to dim these lights? Was going to just use a compact dc power supply plugged into the outlets. Will a lutron LED dimmer work with that or would I need a different power supply? Also, for the sections on the sides of the range, the switch controls two duplex outlets, one on each side, I would need a power supply for each side? Will one dimmer work both power supplies? Also, would I need magnetic or electronic dimmer? Was wanting to use Lutron Maestro. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

| The dimmer has to be matched to the power supply. If the power supply is magnetic, the dimmer has to be a MLV. There's more info in the link below. |

| Where would be a good place to look for dimmable power supplies? |

| "The dimmer has to be matched to the power supply. If the power supply is magnetic, the dimmer has to be a MLV. " It is not that simple. Some power supply designs cannot be dimmed no matter how you try. The supply manufacturer is the person you need to ask. |
