What do I need to install my kitchen lighting?
Do you want to connect lighting for your countertop, kitchen cabinets, or kitchen drawers and need some help? Then follow our handy installation guide!
Most of our kitchen lighting range is smart lighting, for which you need a TRÅDFRI driver and a FÖRNIMMA connection cord.
If you have all the necessary products at home, then check out our handy installation guide (in Dutch) for a step-by-step explanation on how to install the lighting. Additionally, please use the installation manuals that come with all individual products.
Do I need one or more TRÅDFRI drivers for my lighting?
In most situations, one driver is sufficient for installing your lighting. You can choose from two variants: 10 watts or 30 watts. The wattage indicates how much power can be supplied to your lighting, and this wattage of the driver must always be higher than the total wattage of your lighting.
For example, if you have two MITTLED LED strips each with a power of 4 watts, you need a total of 8 watts. A 10 watt TRÅDFRI driver will then suffice! If you add more lighting, you will probably need a 30 watt TRÅDFRI driver. If necessary, you can also connect multiple drivers together for more power.
