We are having our kitchen re-fitted next week and I'd like to install under cabinet lighting. We are planning to go down the LED tape route and would appreciate help and advise on the following.
1) What specification of LED should we go for and number of LEDs per metre?
2) Should we use IP rated tape? I'm concerned about accidents involving kettle or toaster. Would an IP rated tape offer more protection or is the unprotected tape fairly resilient?
3) I would like to dim. I was planning on going down the route of a Varilight transformer and mains dimmer as I can keep all the switching to one switch by the door. Is this a good solution for dimming LEDs
4) Does anyone have any recommended suppliers? Would ideally like the strips cut to length.
