Hi,
2 questions:
1) I currently have a hardwired strip light above my sink, that I want to replace with a xenon strip light and then add xenon puck lights underneath the adjacent cabinents. Can someone explain to me how I can all daisy chain them together, so that i can control them with switch that the current strip light is operated by.
2) I also keep reading about a transformer for the puck lights. If I have to plug the pucks into a transformer, where do I put the transformer so it isn't an eye sore, and out of sight completely.
Thanks,
Mark

1. You must run a cable from the existing light location (or possibly from the switch, but there are no guarantees here) to the transformer for the under cabinet lights.
2. The transformer can be located on top of or inside a cabinet.
