Moving on with endeavor made up two more LED strips 5000k / SMD5050 aluminum rails with diffusers and mounted them to cabinets on both side of combo stove and micro wave. Tested them and WAF is high for illumination of preparation areas.
These two strips will either be on or off and not dimmed. May not automate them for time bean.
Purchased a combo outlet toggle decora style switch and LED power supply.
Here will remove current duplex outlet, install LED power supply and use the combo switch to power on and off LED power supply.
Wanting to keep same size footprint here as the current duplex outlet. Initially was going to install a double duplex mudplate and use old outlet with a new decora style switch. There are single duplex outlets every couple of feet along the kitchen counters mounted horizontally. They are all in 4X4 boxes with single duplex mudplates on them.
Outlet for switch installation is typically only used for the crock pot. I was able to pass a 12VDC wire in a slot with a horizontal space behind the Microwave oven bracket for cabinet to cabinet LED power. This was easier than going to the basement down inside a wall across to another wall and up fishing the cables.
Most difficult piece of the endeavor here is using the tiny LED strip connectors. I soldered the power wires to one side one clip and fixed clip inside of aluminum track crimping the track a bit to hold the connector in place.
