Hard Wired Under Kitchen Cabinet Lighting

ashandton

Hi

Can anyone direct me to a place that sells hard wired under kitchen cabinet lights?

All I seem to be finding are ones with transformers that you plug into an electrical socket.

We have just had a new kitchen installed and have the wires poking out of the walls under the cabinets to put in new lights, but just cant find any that connect up to our wires.

Many thanks

Go to a proper electrical wholesalers you could also use LED lighting.

Presume you mean you have plenty of wire hanging out to wire direct to the new light? In my kitchen, they've joined the mains feed and the under-cupboard strip-light using a small junction box which is screwed to the underside of the upper cabinet. Will give you a wider choice of lights and the box & light fitting can't be seen unless you poke your head underneath...

For example, we have these which are very slim but functional & cheap but perhaps not particularly attractive... http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/tv-aerials+boosters/get-under-cupboard-light-fitting-fluorescent-white-20w-625mm/invt/0230732/?htxt=B3gMP%2BajedxYngwmQrGEzvR5nDZuk6DRXKwWwFnoiv2eIEst0XGqMzF1caAbI%2BMKOyjVJhpdH7zd%0AsZt9K1ieSA%3D%3D


Edit - thought I'd add these can be linked together too

B & Q, any store like that or any electrical place should have these.

This looks pretty good, you arent able to see them once they are fitted, but they really look just the job and a really good price.

Why no just add transformers inside/under the cupboard at each point where the cables are and then a cable back underneath connected to any 12v light, this will deffo widden your range you can choose from.
