We consider single band of conduction electrons interacting with displacements of the transitional ions. In the classical regime strong enough coupling transforms the harmonic elastic energy for an ion to the one of the well with two deep minima, so that the system is described in terms of Ising spins. Inter-site interactions order spins at lower tempratures. Extention to the quantum regime is discussed. Below the CDW-transition the energy spectrum of electrons remains metallic because the structural vector Q and the FS sizes are not related. Large values of the CDW gap seen in the tunneling experiments correspond to the energy of the minima in the electron-ion two-well complex. The gap is defined through the density of states (DOS) inside the electronic bands below the CDW transition. We focus mainly on electronic properties of transition-metal dichalcogenides.
