I second the seagull ambiance lighting. I install this product on a regular basis. It is top notch and about the neatest and safest one out there if installed correctly. ie 12/2 romex in the walls for you lv switch legs up from the transformer. i place my transformer either in the basement or attic, never in the cabinets as some do. i then feed my transformer with 14/2 or 12/2 (depending on load as well as i make mine a deadicated circuit) from a dimmer switch to the transformer. i make a junction box next to the tranformer usually 1900 or 2100 and run all my 12/2 legs from here up to each cabinet corner. i will then make my connection from the transformer to the junction box with a small piece of nm seal tite. depending on how many 12's i got i will up size my switch feed from the transformer to the j box to 10 wire. i keep all my track 3/4 of a inch off the edge of the cabinets(i will usually just use a starter block as a jig when i secure all my track.
