INSTALLATION
Quiet Electronic Transformer: xenon low voltage ultra-slim lights require a 12-volt electronic transformer to operate properly. We offer a selection of popular electronic transformers on the Accessories tab. To view our complete selection please visit our Electronic Transformers section of our website.
May be Surface or Recessed Mounted: may be surface mounted or recessed mounted
Surface Mounted: if this fixture is surface mounted, it will stick down only 13/16in
Recessed Mounted: if this fixture is recessed mounted, it needs a hole diameter of
2-3/8in and a hole depth of only 9/16in with the outer trim sticking out only 0.25in
Long Electrical Leads: each Xenon Low Voltage Ultra-Slim Cabinet Light comes with two 24-inch 18 AWG leads with a plastic connector at the end. The plastic connector is simply plugged into a Multi-Tap Connector which, in turn, is hardwired to a transformer. These leads could be lengthened by using additional 18 AWG wire connected with a small terminal block (available for purchase on the Accessories tab.
Multi-Tap Connectors: multi-tap connectors provide an easy method to wire multiple fixtures to an electronic transformer. Multi-tap connectors come in two sizes; one connector (PNM-143) can accommodate up to 3 fixtures while the other connector (PNM-146) can accommodate up to 6 fixtures (available for purchase on the Accessories tab). To connect the Multi-Tap Connector to a transformer we recommend using a small terminal block. (available for purchase on the Accessories tab).
Easy to Install: please refer to these Installation Instructions (PDF). Always check local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) before installing any lighting products. It is also wise to consult with a licensed electrician in your geographical area about any electrical details that you might have questions about and to make certain that you are satisfying all of the appropriate electrical codes.

Measurement Guide for Xenon Low Voltage Ultra-Slim Lights
When determining how many Xenon Low Voltage Ultra-Slim Lights you will need for under cabinet lighting you first will have to measure the space where the fixtures will be attached. To do this you should NOT measure the face of the cabinets; you should measure the "cavity" under the cabinet where the fixtures will actually be placed. We recommend that you then refer to the following table when determining how many Ultra-Slim Lights you will need. From the range given below select the number of fixtures that seems right for your situation.
