IKEA Dioder / In-wall wires ....

[4x12]

Hey Guys,

I recently upgraded a few things in my HT setup (pics to come) and one of those upgrades was wall mounting my 50" Panny. All wires have been tucked away (CL2 rated HDMI cables, and an indepent power cord for the Panny).

Now, I was wondering about the IKEA Dioder light kits. I want to keep the kit
I have on my plasma, since it looks damn cool, but I don't have an additional outlet behind the screen and running wires below the screen isnt an option. On the Dioder kits transfomer it mentiones that from the input (wall-to-transformer) is 120v and the output (transformer-to-lights) is only 12DC, can I use these in wall since this is fairly low wattage or can it cause an issue ?

BTW, I'm not certain if this question is posted in the proper section.... sorry if it isnt.

What do you mean in wall? Do you want to put the wire/transformer in the wall? It is only 5W consumption and .1A drawn on the 120V line so I don't think that there can be any problems with heat anywhere....

the transformer would be hooked up behind the tv stand abd the wires connecting the 4 Dioder lights would be in-wall...

Even after my lights were on for 4 hours last night, I could hardly feel any heat coming out from even the light bars themselves. I don't see why it would cause any problem with just the wires being in the wall (unless the instructions would have said so)....
