LED plinth lighting

[Ross1]

Evening guys,

I'm currently doing a total rewire and layout of a replacement flood damaged kitchen. The kitchen units are coming with LED plinth lighting on opposite sides of kitchen. They are gonna be switched separately from the rest of the kitchen lighting. With regards to getting a feed to these, how would you connect to TX at this low level? Would you use a flex outlet plate etc ( what are the regs in this ) never done this before so looking for easiest and right option here?

Cheers

Switch feed to j.b somewhere accessible. Or flex outlet as you said. Some I done have come with 5a plug tops.... Surprised me lol

Are they round LED lights, that come with 5m or so of cable and then a small 2 pin plug on the end that then plug into a splitter? If so the transformer is a plug so we put a socket either in the kitchen base unit or under the smallest bit of plinth (so its easily accessible)

The builder is supplying them with the kitchen, they come in a pack of ten with 1 transformer. Ive got 3 sides to kitchen which are 3 separate plinth areas. Never installed them before so ive just installed switch line to all 3 compartments.

If it's the same set-up as we have used before, I'm suspecting you will have to link them all back to the transformer. Are the 3 plinth area's joined together? If not you will have to run a small 2 core flex for each light back to the plinth area where you want to locate the transformer, and then join them onto the lights, and the connectors for the transformer.
