    Put them on a PIR so come on as you walk in great when you have a hand full of dirty plates

    ^^ this!


    I have done this (although via smartthings sensors and a zwave relay) and is great! Dont always need a huge amount of light and the under counters give nough to do most jobs!

    Hi yes, the idea is to put the switches for the under cabinet lights were you can reach them while cooking and not walking away from the worktop.

    So you actually want to go around the kitchen switching them on individually, and switch them off individually when you're done? Or you see yourself going into the kitchen without those lights on, and then deciding to switch them on once you've started cooking? Surely you'll need them on to prep for cooking?

    You don't want to walk in, switch on all the countertop lights with one switch, and switch them all off with one switch as you leave?

    By all means have an individual switch for each light, but I would still have one master switch for them all by the door ...
