| So I'm getting to the point of roughing in for my under cabinet lighting.
my origional plan was: run line voltage a dimmer, then to a transformer located in my basement.
tie 14g romex into pucks and wrap connections. Done some concerns have been brought up, if I did line voltage I was told I need to terminate in boxes which was why I went to Low voltage. however, the electrical supply seemed to indicate, once I put it in the wall I have to treat the whole thing like line voltage. |

| All connections must be in accessible boxes. |

| Did you say you were feeding the transformer thru a dimmer? I don't like that idea. |

| "All connections must be in accessible boxes." Not necessarily on the low voltage side. The bigger problem is usually that all concealed wiring must be an approved type (even on the low voltage side) and that a single transformer often leads to VERY large wires. Using a number of separate 30 W power supplies is often easier. The only connection under than cabinets that requires a JB is the 120 V to the power supply.
