But I’m any case, the point is I want to use the light being on as a reminder to close the desk, because leaving the desk open when not in use is not ideal given its location.

dpmiller Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 so during the day they won't notice the light and it will burn needlessly. The corner of a shelf in the hips/ ribs OTOH might just focus the mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But presumably my electrician can just cut off the loox connector at the end of the cable and wire the cable to a simple power supply like this: https://www.ledspace.co.uk/products/powerpro-15w-24v-led-power-supply?variant=2032926556170 I cannot switch to the Loox system for everything else because the channel for the LED strip has already been routered for the led profile sold by Ledspace.co.uk, but i really like the shape of the loox contact switch.

dpmiller Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 So that's a low voltage switch and you can only switch the output of the driver with it eg the driver is turned on 247. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there a difference between a power supply and a driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 He’s meaning you need to switch the output side ie the 24 colts you mention above and not the 230 volt AC side I wouldn’t do a drawing. Ie you’ve found these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
