Hello. I am looking into placing four lights over four doors of a wooden wardrobe . It is an IKEA wardrobe and it comes with four separate lights connected to four transformers which each need to be connected to a plug. My main concerns are circuit-wise:
- managing to turn on all lights if any of the doors open (would be nice to have only the above light to turn on but let's keep it simple)
- security \ power usage issue: where to interrupt the power with the switch which is controlled by the door? If it is positioned "before" the plugs and transformers the circuit going around all doors of the wardrobe will be high voltage (security issues), while if I position it after the transformers, could four 12 v transformers permanently connected to the power line lead to excessive power wastes (not to say I would need four switches arghh!)
- would it be best to have a single transformer for all lights (would it work?)
- any other issue I have not foreseen
- should I study some book on electric circuits? (of course)
Thanks for your help.
