I'm redoing a kitchen and want to use LED lighting under the cabinets for energy efficiency and heat reduction, and I found two types.
1. Bluish color lights.
2. High intensity type, Available at Slowes for $50 as three pucks (1 watt each) strung together with a 34V transformer.
Type 1 is too dim for me so I'm looking at type 2, and temporarily installed a set to see how the wife likes them, and she does. Some issues with these:
1. Is the 34V still considered low voltage?
2. The units create a problem with my AM radio.
3. The pucks get pretty hot so I'm not sure how energy efficient they actually are. The package doesn't say how many watts the units actually use. the transformer is labeled output: 350mamps constant current 35VDC.
