I have recently replaced my kitchen cabinets and the wall mounted ones had an under cabinet halogen strip light wired directly from a spur, no local isolation such as FCU. I have now found out that it is fed from the ground floor lighting circuit (as is the combi boiler and a 40W extractor fan built into the window glass).
I have purchased new LED under cabinet strips to replace. I would like to improve the wiring that was there before and I think a FCU would be a good idea. I could also wire in the new cooker hood (has fan + LED light, ~80W total) to this same FCU also. Alternatively I could take the feed from the wall into a junction box then run into two FCUs, one for the under cabinet lights and one for the cooker hood, a 1A fuse in each FCU would be sufficent. Incidentally the old cooker hood was just plugged in to a socket which I did not like.
Any suggestions appreciated.
