Will this work with a low voltage lighting system? Want the LED strip to come on when the drawer is opened, breaking the contact of the switch.

When the magnet and contact are positioned together they make a normaly closed loop circuit. That is the way most alarm contacts work. This is opposite for what you are needing. Try mounting a normaly closed button switch to the back area of the closed drawer. This would push the switch button into an opened state. When you opened the drawer the button would be released allowing the switch contacts to return to their closed state and Allowing voltage to flow to your light

Another option is a normally closed micro-switch with a lever or hinge roller on it. mounted so the lever is moved by the side/top of the drawer. When the switched is used this way it takes minimal pressure for the switch to go to an open state. try Alliedelec.com

The sensor is designed for alarm systems, but is 100 VAC/VDC @ 0.5 amp. If the LED strip fits those limits, it should work okay. It uses a magnetic reed relay, so should be resistant to contact corrosion. However, it is normally closed when the magnet is near, so the off/on is clearly "backward". You could either add in a relay or do something too clever like putting the magnet at the back of the drawer so that it only lights in the fully drawer open position. Neither is optimal.Dan

I don't know for sure but I think the opposite would occur because it is normally closed so instead when you open your drawer the light would actually go off

I don't know---my unit when taken apart is a simple DC power supply connected to +/_ terminals not very complicated. LED shows conductivity of liquid so try across electrodes and see if led stays same brightness. It would be an experiment but may work.

Hi ! Before you buy it check the " actual transformer for LED ". Check the voltage and the POWER required . Normally LED strings/strips are working at 12VDC . as I do not know your "LED arrangement" I cannot say if this transformer can be used for your application !

LED lights work very differently than the older incandescent lights, where you would simply put in a 220 volt lamp. Too high a voltage would destroy the electronics inside, probably instantly.

Yes, it will work if the battery is discharged. The light will turn on as soon as you plug it into an outlet.

This will only work with mono colored Led strips. It will work with power adapters with 12V adapters needed for most led strips with a max of 12A.

If you're talking about a long roll strip, one end has the pin connectors and the other end has wires to splice what I did was cut in half,bought a separate power supply and spliced wires. If you're talking about short LED strips, I don't think you can cut those and use again without Soldering

Sorry, I am not sure, I was going to try that on a job, but resolved the problem before I got around to using the light socket adapter. I was going to use a 2-prong light socket adapter and a 2-3 prong adapter plugged into that for the test unit.

According to one of my contractors the LED light fixtures he has encountered require a low voltage electrical. He does not believ that a LED bulb will work in this traditional fixture.

Only if the light strips aren't connectable. A lot of LED lights can be connected easily as they have built in adaptors. If they lack these adaptors, then you would have to have three of these power units.

Once the strip has been cut, it is no longer attached to the power so it will not light. You will need to re-splice it to the strip that is connected to the power adapter.

The strip doesn't come with a 110v wall plug. You need to purchase the transformer kit, I also purchased the wireless dimming kit. The LED's are a perfect addition for under cabinet lighting. Instead of the the little plastic holders, I used double sided tape to stick the LED's under the cabinet, additionally I cut and soldered the pieces rather than using the push on pieces, this way I could run a section of LED, hide the wire and then run another section of LED. Good luck

This is a 12 volt. Switch, if your item is 12 VDC & drAws less than 2amps it should work. If your lite is more than the 2amps get a dimmer from electric outlet store. Van

My lighting designer told me that it would not work with low voltage transformers. They suggested the Lutron Diva for that purpose, which is what I am using. I used these everywhere else in my house, though, and they work well. They're a little strange to wire, especially in 3-way and 4-way applications, so you need to have the wiring instructions handy when you're installing them. We also did use these with LED bulbs, and the dimming works funky with dimmable Cree LEDs. One light fixture had two Cree dimmable LED bulbs in it, and the light would not come on when set to a dimming position, when when "turned up" it would flash one of the bulbs on, and then finally the other one. We did not experience this problem with TCP LED halogen replacements, only with Cree standard dimmable LEDs.

Yes, it works just fine, I have all of these switches with led lights, the switch doesn't care what light it is controlling

Are you using this for LED tape light? The dimmer is rated for 12 volts. If you hook it up to a power source with a voltage greater than 12 volts the switch may work for awhile, but will eventually get fried.

The switch will need to be a 12 volt switch unless you wire the outlet (the one that the under cabinets plug in to) to a conventional light switch... then it would work.. but the outlet would have to be dedicated to the under cabinet lights only.
