Hi All,
We're having some shelves fitted that have build in LED's (they're not floating, but will be supported by brackets) and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience in wiring these.
We have 6 small shelves and 2 large ones and want all of the lights to come on via a single switch. We have an electrician coming over this week to prepare the wiring for us, but I'd like to know how these things work.
This is what the sheling company have to say "the shelves are supplied with the rear slotted out so cables can run at the back to a point in the wall where the cable comes through, so all cables will be hidden. If cables can be placed more or less anywhere at the moment that would be great, as you can have your electrician bring out the cables at the point where we slot the shelf (anywhere along the rear centre of shelf and it runs the full length less around an inch either side)".
I'm going to draw outlines on the wall of where each shelf will go so that he knows where to bring the wires out, but how are the shelves then connected to each wire? Will we need to ask him back when the carpenter is fitting the shelves in order to connect them, or is it a simple thing to do?
Lots of people have these types of lighted shelves, so I'm sure the process is straightforward and I'm just over complicating things but any advice anyone has would be greatfully received.
Thanks,
Joe
