    Controlling LED strips

    I apologize if there is a thread on this somewhere that I haven't found, but is anyone here using LED strip lights? I love these for under cabinets and in toe kicks, but as 12VDC dimmable devices, they seem to be outside of the HA mainstream. Most of mine ended up on RF dimmers. Will any of the RF interfaces for HS learn the commands from these fobs?

    I just installed LED strip lights under my kitchen cabinets to illuminate the counter top. The strips I purchased are 24 volt. I am using an Insteon dimmer modules. I am using an 18 volt AC 1.5 amp transformer and a full wave diode rectifier which will produce around 19 volts DC. The Insteon dimmer will operate the transformer with out any issues. At full bright, the 19 volts DC provides more then enough brightness and because I am not operating the LEDs at full voltage should prolong their life. http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...ght-strip/642/ is the link to the LED strips I purchased. These folks also sell the mounting tracks and frosted covers http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...ing/1421/3323/ which really makes for a clean installation.
