Undercabinet Lights

Last year Bryna had mentioned how awesome the tape on LED lights are for undercabinet lighting.  They're are a bit confusing looking at online.  But at BBC lighting they have a nice display and the salesman got me set up with all the different components that I would need.  Also we could compare the entire system quotes against a more traditional system and the LED was slightly less expensive. Dad had hard wires to connect the lights to so that they would go on with a switch.  And because this was an electrical project, Dad came down to help.

Here is the largest of the transformers that I needed with a 10 inch section of lights attached on the right side.

so the wire come out of the wall and goes into a mini junction box, where it connect to the transformer.  The transformer has wires that connect to the light tape connector (yes there really are this many connectors) and finally the lights in a piece of tape.
The cabinet crown molding will hide the components.
but the cabinet crown is a whole other story (that is far from done)
