FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these kickboard lights?
Their primary purpose is to provide accent lighting, enhancing kitchen aesthetics by highlighting architectural features and reducing shadows at the base of cabinetry.
Can these lights be used as the main light source in a kitchen?
No, these are designed as accent lights. Their 1-watt output is not sufficient to illuminate an entire kitchen workspace.
What type of power supply is required?
These are low-voltage lights and require a compatible low-voltage transformer (typically 12V DC) and power supply.
How should I clean the silver finish?
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to prevent damage to the finish.
Are these lights suitable for outdoor kitchens?
These lights are designed for indoor kitchen use. They are not rated for outdoor weather exposure.
What is the expected lifespan of the LED?
LEDs are known for their longevity, offering many thousands of hours of operation under normal use. Specific lifespan depends on usage and operating conditions.
Can I wire multiple lights together?
Yes, multiple lights can typically be wired in parallel to a single compatible low-voltage transformer, provided the transformer has sufficient wattage capacity.
Troubleshooting
Light not turning on
Check that the power supply is connected and switched on. Verify all wiring connections are secure and that the voltage from the transformer is correct for the lights. Ensure the light fixture itself is properly seated.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose connection or an issue with the power supply/transformer. Inspect all wiring and consider testing with a different compatible transformer if possible.
Dim illumination
Ensure the power supply has sufficient wattage capacity for the number of lights connected. Check for any obstructions or dirt on the lens. Confirm the voltage output is stable.
