I strung 20 feet with one transformer with no problem. The run of lights was actually longer but I trimed the lights with scissors to fit. I think one is fine.

This is probably what you dont what to hear, but i purchased the adaptor along with the 16.5ft led strip lights, what i did was just lengthen the wire to the strip and then just hid the adaptor in a location in a place where it was easy to access and keep cool, keep in mind the adaptor gets hot, no need in placing in a place to start a fire, good luck my friend.

It depends on how much light you want. The cords between lights are plenty long (3 feet). We placed a light under each of our 18 inch cabinets which makes it very bright when they are on full power. We could have gone with every other cabinet for a warmer feel (which we get with the low setting on the dimmer).

We just installed a 10 foot island. We hung 3 lights, and it is perfect. I don't think 2 would cover that large an area. They are beautiful and everyone comments on them. Great choice!

I would think you could put 2 light kits in the model if it's big enough to house the control modules. They would function as 2 separate systems though. There really is no way to combine 2 kits without wire splicing and then I'm not sure that the module could handle the additional lights.

That question has a lot of variables to it... Depending on your lighting configuration, and depending on how 'bright' you want the lighting, they may. If you want it like daylight, you're going to use an awful lot of them, and you're going to need a pretty big transformer to run them. Like any light, elevation and position make a big difference in coverage. Because of the length of the area you're trying to light, locating them all in one group may not do it... they'd likely have to be spread out a bit if you want even lighting across the whole area. For the price, you may want to pick up just one, and play around with it to figure out how much light and where it would need to be located to get the coverage you're looking for.

You want full coverage of your tank. The minimum sizes of the fixtures are the actual length of the light bar, and then there are legs that pull out to extend to fit onto larger tanks. If you tank is 24" wide, you definitely want the 24" fixture, else you'll have a light that only lights up the middle, with 3" of unlit area to each side.

In a kitchen area, you want bright lights. I'd use 4 unless you have other lights (under the counter, sink lights, etc.).

I have one set of cabinets that is 60 inches long (5Ft) and I use 4 of the 8" strips to light that area and it is more than sufficient. That would indicate that the ten strips provided would easily light your 12Ft. You get 85 inches of light strips in this kit than figure approximately 2 inches between strips with the short connectors ( order enough of these) . Unless you are performing surgical procedures this should be plenty of light on high setting. You can always order them individually from this vendor should you want to expand the lighted area. That is one of the real nice things about this system...flexibility!!

I had to install a wall socket above each cabinet/cupboard. I have 7 cabinets in groups of 1, 2, & 4. My cupboards are about 16"" below the ceiling so we have space for the wall socket with the wire in the wall. My cupboard configuration required 3 new sockets which were wired and controlled from 1 wall switch.

Unfortunately, no you can not, as the outer lights and the inner lights are integrated to the same controller. There is a by pass you can do that will give you the desired effect though. Search amazon for NZXT Hue, this is basically an LED strip that uses the same feature as the built in one featured in the case, it will cost you one 5.25 bay slow but with 4 slots that shouldn't be much of an issue. I think the last time i checked it's $29-39 here on amazon. Make sure you by a 3rd party double sided tape though, as with all manufacturer double-sided tapes they're pretty insufficient when temperatures start degrading the adhesive.

The lights are powered by a small transformer that converts the 120v AC to a low DC power. I had old undercabinet lights that were controlled by a wall switch. When the old cabinets and lights were removed, I installed an outlet on that line so the outlet was controlled by the wall switch. Then you simply plug the power transformer for the new lights into that new outlet (inside or above a cabinet). The one important thing to plan is how many lights you will be powering and buy the correctly sized power transformer from lightkiwi. Hope that helps.

I've been using several in my kitchen for many years. I am 100 percent satisfied. Right now, I have one taped under a cabinet shelf (out of sight). It's about 5 feet from the ceiling fixture that contains 3 CFL bulbs. Other lights in the kitchen are LED, small florescent, as well as wall-dimmer based incandescent. The motion detector senses a person walking into the kitchen and sends a signal to an X10 relay to turn on all of the under cabinet lights. A turn-off signal then is sent after 30 minutes. It's great when you can walk into the kitchen in the dark and not have to fumble with a light switch. Be sure that the X10 relay is the "relay" or "switch" type and not the "dimmer" type.

Unless you room is very small, you need not worry. I have the same situation and each controller can work either picture. The range of the controller is about 10 feet and it seems to be directional. I point the controller at one picture and click. I repeat the point and click at the other picture and it lights while not turning the first picture light off. Works great!

These fixtures have fittings on the back that allow direct wiring into the unit. Depending on the size, they give off a nice amount of light. These are designed as under cabinet lights that shine on a surface 16-18" below. In that application, they give off plenty of light. I think they would be good up to 20-22" but after that they may not work well unless you have a lot of ambient light in that area. The website has a chart for each of the sizes that gives you the average lumens on the backsplash and the countertop which may help you.

I bought these for my outdoor lighting. However, the LED bulb is longer than my light can hold. I modified one to make it fit (not recommended) and found that the light flickered. I don't know if that was due to mine being A/C outdoor lights and the circuit in them does not work as well on A/C. I would check first on how much room you have in your undercabinet fixtures for a longer bulb. These are also bigger in diameter too.
