Under Cabinet LED Lighting

[Jeff Rehling]

My current under interior cabinet lights are on this transformer and door switch. I need to get a splitter for the transformer so I can run IR sensors to each cabinet door. I'll have four doors total. I have two IR switches now, and the item shown below is out of stock with amazon. How can I use the single transformer to power all four switches and LED strip lights?

Assuming you have the current capacity of your power brick, just run parallel connections to the switches and then series from the switches to each strip. Also make sure your switches can handle the current (power) that runs through them.

If you don't understand series/parallel here's a little informational.

Would magnetic switch work than IR for door?

it would but would be more twitchy to install.

why do you ask?

I've been ponder about the same thing for my cabinet and never made the choice between magnetic vs other. Right now I turn it on by apex.
