Spinny Posted yesterday at 13:57 Posted yesterday at 13:57 Anyone seen any thin lights for recessing into the bottom of kitchen wall cabinets that are actually smart and can be controlled remotely to change colour temperature as well as to dim ?
Russell griffiths Posted yesterday at 19:21 Posted yesterday at 19:21 Forgive me if I’m being thick. but the colour changing and temperature changes are down to the led and driver unit. thin profile is down to the aluminium profile that you recessed into the cupboard, as long as the strip fits in the profile then off you go. just get a profile thinner than your bottom of your cupboard.
Spinny Posted yesterday at 19:31 Author Posted yesterday at 19:31 (edited) Ah ok, I meant slim circular downlight puck lights that get recessed into the cabinet base. About 12-15mm deep. Want circular to match the extractor etc Kitchen company have some but they are not smart. Edited yesterday at 19:33 by Spinny
joth Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago My experience is kitchen cabinet supplied light fittings are massively marked up rubbish. One project the customer paid hundreds per cabinet for them just to rip them out and replace with some quality Dali fittings (which also added CTT support). The pre fitted stuff was 12V non-dimmable inconsistent temperature, and random switch on latency. Essentially the cost just went into having the kitchen company route out channels and provide some glass bases for the cabinets. Can't really help with the OP other than say most slimline panel fittings are just an LED strip and a diffuser internally, so like the case i mentioned above you may get some mileage finding a quality fitting and pairing it to an appropriate constant current LED driver of your choice.

IIRC it was from DLD with an LTech driver https://www.darklightdesign.com/architectural-lighting/led-tape/112654/ https://www.ultraleds.co.uk/ltech-professional-24v-dali-constant-voltage-led-driver-36w-ip20 1
-rick- Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Thanks. I guess I was thinking you were referring to circular/bulb style ones. bulb style with controllable CCT seems pretty difficult to find outside the wireless 'smart' bulbs which I don't think is a good solution.
