Hi I've bought two sets of these lights from Ikea to attach to under my kitchen cupboards to give further light on the worktop.

Each pack of lights contains 3 lights, cables and mains power supply. The mains supply is designed to handle 6 lights.

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30119352

So I have 6 lights, 4 of them are fine. The problem is, two of the lights are too far away to attach to the power supply. The power supply has a brown and blue cable running to the mains and connections at the other end for 6 lights.

Each light has two cables running from it, each cable is the same, white insulation with a silver wire core.

I've just purchased 2 core flat flex 10 metre cable.

So, do I put these two lights into the 2nd power supply and wire the mains of that supply to the mains of the first supply .... or connect the lights directly to the flat flex and connect it back to the connects for the lights on the first power supply (not using the 2nd supply)???

Hope I make sense. Please help!

Hello.
It sounds like you need to have another transformer local to the lights that need feeding.
You are dealing with 12V and 230V here, be careful !!!! ;) .
