Hi,

Recently moved into a new build and looking to install spotlights beneath kitchen cabinets. The wiring is all in for the spotlights and connections box present on top of each cabinet.

How easy would it be to do this myself, given that I have no electrical experience. The connection box can be seen here - https://ibb.co/GFYzZ2Z

Thanks in advance

    Then you have answered your own question - you should not attempt to do this yourself.

    It would be very easy to do it wrong! And it would be easy to kill yourself if you don't know how to isolate the supply and don't have the equipment to prove that it is isolated.

    Better to pay someone who has the knowledge and the equipment to do the job safely.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Very easy to install the lamps and wires then get someone to connect to the electrics.
    I did this and connected to the cooker hood lights so they all come on together.
