Connecting multiple led strips to romex
Posted on 9/19/23 at 10:07 am

I currently have four small fluorescent under-cabinet light fixtures that are hardwired to one switch. I want to replace these with led strips that will be housed in mounted channels. My preference is to avoid using led integrated fixtures. Since I can't locate the junction box in my attic, will I need to connect a driver to each led strip?
Example of romex wired through cabinet in four places.

Had an identical situation.
These are very slim, and seem very well made. I've had mine in for 5 years, and on about 12 hours per day, and I have 9 of them. No issues yet.
Get a good dimmer, I think the drivers in these are quite solid.

Drivers are rated for so much power. Just get one big enough to run all that you need so you don't have to use multiple.

Note sure how this works since i'm going to be running led lighting on both sides of my kitchen under non-connected cabinets.

I assume you're talking about 12v lights. Romex to 12v led driver. Would need low voltage wire from one side to the next. Unless it's easier to use a driver on each side. Would have to run Romex to each driver though so probably easier just to use 1 driver. It's kind of similar to running 12v outdoor lights if you've ever done that.

I already have romex running to each of the four, non-connected locations I will be running lights. I would have to cap off three of these if I was to run on one driver, no?

I mean you could use the Romex from the driver to the LEDs but it's kind of overkill. Would be less work and cheaper if it's already there.
