Hi guys,
just a quick one..my sparky has fitted some undercabinet kitchen lighting and left the low voltage driver on the cabinet. He used a connector block covered in insulation tape to connect the driver to the lighting ring which is also on the cabinet...Cause its going to be rented out and people put all kinds of stuff on the cabinet I want to tidy it up abit.
The undercabinet lighting is on the lighting ring for the kitchen.
I have sensio low voltage LED downlights....in the instructions it says as follows:
Plug the driver into the mains socket. If the driver mains lead has not been fitted with a plug, connect it to a fixed spur incorporating a 3 amp fused plug.
So as I stated the sparky just connected the driver to the mains lighting circuit via a taped up connector block. I have cut out the plasterboard and fitted the boxes and will now connect the driver to the mains lighting wire using this MK13A DP switched fused connector unit with flex outlet like this one:

I will replace the 13amp fuse with a 3amp fuse...does this sound ok ?
cheers,
geezer
