I have purchased some under cabinet lighting for my kitchen. it plugs into the wall and has a small switch inline. the lights are low voltage 12V
AC (transformer or voltage regulator also inline before lights). I was wondering if I could wire these into the receptacle instead of using the plug and use an actual light switch beside the receptacle. I have yet to determined how many loads are on the circuit I want to tie into. In my mind its possible but I'm curious about any safety hazards or anything else I haven't thought about. opinions please.
Thanks
