Long time no ask, but I hope someone out there can help as always. Most grateful for any assistance.
At present I have several one foot fluorescent tubes under my wall units in the kitchen. These are fed electricity through normal twin & earth wires down the back wall behind and emanating from a simple junction box on top of the wall units, that in turn is controlled from a normal light switch.
Have had the kitchen units revamped and have purchased 5 metres strip white LEDs with an appropriate 12v 6amp adapter. 2.5 metres goes on the top surface of the units illuminating the coving and ceiling (looks great) and I wish to utilise the other 2.5metres underneath the units instead of the fluorescent lights. I have all the necessary connectors
My question, can I feed the 12v DC 6amp output to the junction box so that both the top and underneath "strips" light up. I know that this is possible if I had very "thin" wires connecting but will utilising the existing twin wires of the twin & earth 1.5mm to connect diminish the power to the underneath strips and prevent them working as it is so much thicker.
I cannot easily put in "thin" wires without having to dismantle the wall units and break through tiles, this isn't jut for one wall as I need to do exactly the same on the opposite wall.
As always thank you in advance for any help/suggestions, my house was renovated basically on all the help you have proffered in the past
