A compact driver made to hide
This 24V hardwired power supply was designed for under-cabinet lighting and other tight spaces. Its grey housing is small enough to slip behind a cabinet valance, inside a cupboard or under a shelf, and its molded mounting brackets let you screw it firmly to cabinetry or another solid surface. Two distinct screw-in ports, one for the AC input and one for the DC output, make the wiring easy to read and reduce the chance of mixing up conductors, both during installation and during any future service.
Electrical details and installation
The driver delivers 24V DC, rated at 24W (1A). Because it is hardwired to line voltage rather than plugged into a power receptacle, installation should be made by a qualified professional in accordance with your local building code. When sizing your project, add the wattage of every LED strip segment on the output and keep the total well below the 24W rating: that headroom is the recommended practice for optimal performance and a cooler-running driver. The unit is for indoor use only; mount it in a dry location.
Compatible strips and dimming
This 24V LED strip driver powers single-colour 24V strips and RGB LED strips. For RGB tape, install an RGB controller between the driver and the strip to manage colours and effects. The driver is not compatible with AC dimmers, so it must never be wired behind a conventional wall dimmer. To dim a single-colour strip, place a low-voltage DC dimmer on the output, between the driver and the LEDs. Always confirm that every product connected to the output is rated for 24V DC.
Everyday applications
Use it to light the counter under a row of upper cabinets, a coffee station, a bathroom linen closet, a bookcase or a set of floating shelves. In commercial spaces, it is perfect for a jewellery or watch display, a cash counter, a small bar shelf or a product niche in a boutique. Contractors appreciate a certified, hardwired solution that disappears into the millwork, and homeowners love the clean result.
