Can you hardwire a Lutron motion sensor switch using this Transformer from an existing home power outlet to power LED Strip's under kitchen cabinet?

The short answer is "yes." But I assume what you mean is that you have an existing switched outlet, controlled by a wall switch, and you want to swap the wall switch to the motion sensor. Your question is still not entirely clear to me, though, as this transformer is intended to be hard wired into a jbox, and not plugged into an outlet.

Unfortunately, you cannot. This power adapter is not dimmable. As Erik suggested, we typically use dimmers that install between your power adapter and LED strip.

The lights I purchased have a two wire pig tail on one end to attach to the required power supply. The other end was simply cut square. I did purchase end connectors that had two wires attached (+Red and -Black) that the square cut end of the light strip would plug into. Conceivable you could daisy chain several strips together using that arrangement as long as your power supply is rated for the current. I'm sure some supplier has a type of connector that accepts the raw ends of two strips for an electrical connection. It should be noted that the lights in strip form are not protected from the elements or contact with metallic surfaces. Mine are placed behind a wood molding under the cabinets. I modified the molding to place the strip at a 45 degree angle and just hot glued them in place. Easier than any other lighting I looked at. The power supply is very compact and efficient. I think they are excellent. There is an even flooding of light over the countertop and they always run cool. Good Luck with your project.

This switch is designed to be used with bare wires and can not be used with the transformer you have selected. You can cut off the barrel plugs on both the power supply and the led strip and use just wires. I would recommend using LED strip lights with wire connections. http://goo.gl/vPQkjm

The question as posed implies cutting off the power supply plug and hard wiring the wire into a conventional light switch which would be a no no because the plug-in power supply in this package contains a transformer to reduce the voltage to 12 Volts. This really isn't the right package if one wants to control the lights from a dedicated wall switch. I would suggest the customer go direct to InspiredLED.com. I can't overstate how easy it is to deal with people on line. They'll fix you up in no time once they have an idea what your wishes are. Send them dimensions and ideally a photo(s) of where you want lights and they will return it with a worked up layout, parts list and costing.

Search amazon.com for microswitch and you will see lots of choices. You'll have to work out an enclosure for the wiring. A motion sensor might also work mounted in a handy box inside the cabinet. Search amazon for "motion switch for lights" .

Yes. I wired mine to the existing switch. If you don't have one, just add one inline to your power panel.

Yes. I use this as a switch for my under the counter lights and some extra track lighting I have above my kitchen cabinets. It works great.

No. You will have to wire in a switch or else add the LED lights to an existing switched circuite

Definitely! Just cut the plug off and use wire nuts to connect to a switch on your kitchen circuit.

Yes you can wire them to the switch. Sometimes I will add an outlet in the cabinet on the switch. Depends on what access you have.
943689
Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

Yes. If you already have undercounted lights you will already have a 110v feed to those lights. I used that feed and put an outlet just inside the cabinets.

The switch can be used for that using the ground wire. That is what I used to activate my under hood led light.

Look up "low voltage transformers" on Amazon. Almost any one will work. I used the paradise gl22720 because I wanted a light sensor.

it should work just like your light switch, that is if there is no low voltage seepage from sensor switch.

It replaces a in wall light switch. So if the outlet your transformer is plugged into has a switch then yes. If not you'd need an electrician to get this to work. Not designed to be installed outdoors.
