Did you just run the Romex wire through the wall to the driver?

[sugarmaplelodge]

Loved your video, I must of missed how you hid the wire from the back of the upper to the light. Can you please share what you did?

Nice video, it's tough to find projects that are hard-wired to the house and not just plugged in. I do have two questions:

1) Why use a transformer rather than an adapter? I don't really understand this piece of installing LEDs, aside from "don't let LEDs use direct wall power"
2) What tool did you use to drill a hole into the aluminum channels?

Looks awesome! Looking to do a similar project for the in-laws.
Any chance you can provide a general parts lists for the dimmer switch and transformer? Also any recommendations for kitchens that already have a backsplash?

Did you put lights on the sides of your island?

[dk-ujyd]

great info, wish you would have listed the products you used though....unless i guess you bought from inspired based on their design

[mattsherman]

You mentioned adding a dimmer, but we don't see that in the video. Can you do the dimmer with the transformer?

[scottcarpenter]

Looking to do something similar. New cabinets will be installed in a couple weeks. Where did you get the extrusions & lenses you mounted your led strips in?

[KimBrokaw]

Did you use the 12v or 24v light strips from InspiredLED?

[amysocie]

What is the wire you are using to connect all the LED lights together? A list of products used in the description section would be 100% appreciated.

Can you do a DIY video of how you cut your hair?

[shanew]

Clearly wasn't done after the backsplash was installed.
