The design of the system is great, except for the dimmer switch. How do you mount so wires are hidden?

The kit comes with adhesive back clips, however, the adhesive degrades quickly. I used white duct tape for a quick fix since my cabinets are white, but for a more professional looking installation hardware stores sell cable or wire tacs. They are a plastic body that fits the width of a wire with a tac nail to nail it to the underside of the cabinet. I love this system! It's so much better than the puck lights I had previously installed.

It is very low profile, if mounting under cabinet then there should be a lip on cabinet to hide wires. I got some gummed wire holders and used zip ties to tie down.

mine had a screw hole, so I just put it up next to the light. it is under the cabinet, so is mostly hidden. I had the rest of the wire behind a trim piece of wood at the bottom of the cabinet.

The only way to dim would be to use a low voltage inline dimmer, you can try a lutron dimmer switch but I don't believe it work because it is not a damnable driver

The fixtures have a three way switch. They do not have a dimmer swith , perhaps one could be bought separately and put on ??

There is a switch available via Home Depot (and similar stores, I'm sure) that will control fan speed and light dimmer via a wall switch. It is about $50. I'm using it and it works fine.

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

No solder required. From the power supply run 2 wires (I used speaker wires 'cause they are together and different colors) connect red to red black to black, run tow more from the dimmer to the light strip and you're done. Easy ! this thing works great, on and off from across the room and dim from full on to off. Looks great in our kitchen and I hid the dimmer and power supply in a kitchen cabinet (They're each about the size of a cig pac) everyone that sees it loves it.

you have to get and many of the wires as possible out of the tube, then take the remaining 1 or 2 wires and put the on the bottom arc of the tube. I agree it is a tight fit and I had to file off 1/64 of an inch of the top of the switch. I found that you work for a few minutes and then walk way for and hour. Use a wood dowel if you need to push the dimmer. Good luck.

That's a great question!! If there is a dimmer feature, I have yet to find it.

As far as I know that would be based on the bulbs you use, instead of the light fixture. I will read the box, but I'm almost certain you could put a dimmer switch on the light. Hope that is helpful. Thank you -Matt

The Dimmer will replace most types, with only 2 wires it is an easy connection. The mounting hole may need to be enlarged if the old dimmer was of the smaller size, but an easy job with a drill, if needed at all. L

Yes, I don't know about dimming though, didn't know they had side mirrors that dim. It's fairly easy to install, you will have to remove the side panel to get access the the 3 bolts that hold the mirror on. The electrical is just a quick disconnect.

You have to wire it into the fan before mounting. I chose not to use that feature because my house is wired with light and fan switches.

Try it without the dimmer, the dimmer could be bad. Are the cans/wiring existing, or all new?

Yes, you can hide the wires. It's recommended that you place the wires behind the wall bracket before attaching it, although they can still be snaked through after it's on the wall. It's just that larger plugs are a big more difficult, especially once you have a number of wires already behind the bracket.

You can use double sided tape. I used the Ergo Grip Tactical Light Switch Mount Kit (Black)

This does not offer an option to wire into existing electrical switches or dimmers. I'm sure it could be done, if you know a few things about electrical. This system plugs into an existing outlet and uses a wired switch. It does not have a dimmer.

You will have to determine how to mount the switch, there is no set way. I mounted mine with some dual sided tape - it is not a permenant solution especially in the field, but it works until I get it exactly where I want it.
