My kitchen is 24ft length. I want to have the lights under the cabinets. I need two sets of the LED Sylvania Mosaic. My question: Do I need one or two A/C adapters and controllers for the whole 25ft operation. Thank you

I combined enough 2' sections to back light 18, continuous feet above my kitchen cabinets and control from a single power source and remote controller. I've not noticed any excessive heat on the transformer from extra sections. I can't say however, if there is less lumens due to the additional load as I dim the contoller to the max for muted lighting. My advice is lay the connected sections out on the floor to test. I have LED lighting above and below my cabinets and couldn't be happier! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this lighting. Good luck. John

If you have the lights underneath there is not enough room. Less than 1" under my cabinet after installation. Underneath my cabinet measures 10 7/8". Maybe yours is larger? I do love this device in my small galley kitchen.

I have 7 of these sets in operation for a few months and I am very pleased with performance. I did not splice additional cable in my application as the approx. 10 feet between lamps was sufficient. I read reviews where purchasers indicated that they had spliced additional lengths of cable and it worked fine. I have seen low-voltage cable for landscape lighting sold in Home Depot, so that is what I would use if doing this myself. Note that the Brinkmann connectors are keyed such that they will only fit in one position......... so I assume that correct polarity of your spliced connection is important.

Those are probably 4 channel lights so you need a controller with at least 4 channels. Find out how many channels the lights have before you purchase a controller. I had the same problem.

Thanks to all that clarified interpretation of what each of the dimensions pertain to. I am having a difficult problem finding LED retrofits to fit my very old cams. The ones I have purchased and have had to return are too long, once I plug into the light socket of the cams. The dimension of my cams are 4 3/4 inch diameter opening with only 3 1/2 inch length from ceiling to the socket itself...hence very shallow for the ones I have tried to install. Does anyone have any suggestions on any other brands that could work for shallow cams?

I am a electrician and just installed six units in a kitchen and found the cables longer than needed. You will end up snaking the cable to take up the extra length. I will try to post a video of the job later this week.

We use ours as work station lights. They are mounted under the wall cabinets and light up the counter top beautifully. We used 3 x 18 inch led strips to light up 6 feet of counter. They are only 18 inches above the counter, but they are good and bright. I think you would be pleased with the effect at 30 inches above the counter.

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'm using 2 36-48" lights for a 72" tank. I have full coverage but have to use two remotes, with 2 control panels - there is not an extra spot to join 2 into one panel.

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 am just using one from Home Depot, it works great for my needs. You can program 4 outlets on it which is great if you want to control your C02 and lights separately.

try warranty as jon said if not i'm sure you can get a replacement driver but in the long run probally easier to replace the whole assembly. Shop-rite food stores here in NJ are selling sylvania 5 and 6 inch led retrofits for 9.99 a piece with your shop-rite card. so is it worth the aggravation of getting the driver changing it out etc.

It all depends on your setup and what you want it to look like. The lights can be connected in series Two of my cabinets were connected and a third was on the orher side of the sink. I bought an extension cable and ran it along a shelf over the sink and it worked well.

My TV is 51" and the two strips are 16" long, each. I just measured them. I initially got the very brightest LED's and returned them in exchange for the dimmer lights. The brightest lights are very bright! For us, anyway. IMO, they would be better for under bar lighting, in a cabinet, under a shelf, etc. The return and exchange was pleasant and easy!

The amount and (amperage) of the power supplies is determined by how many LEDS will be powered. I highly suggest calling the vendor. They are GREAT folks, and are more than accommodating. They make extension/jumper wires, to go between the segments. Also, if you have custom lengths (as I did) they will make one to your specifications.
