Hi all,
I have a walk in cupboard (big enough to fit a coat rack)
And I'd like to fit a cupboard light in there.
Anyone with a flare for design give some advice on lighting options?
I was thinking one cupboard downlight centrally placed but open to more imaginative options ?
The upper cupboard is used for storing the usual junk, boxes etc.
The divide between both cupboards is made of wood (about 30-40mm thick)

Is it as simple as wiring up to the CU on a 5amp mcb using 1.5mm cable, or is there more involved ?

Ok then brilliant.
Hope I can find chrome or even gold finish as it's well above head height.
 
Excellent.
What do you think about the sensor version of these lights?
Saves having to reach up every time
Can these be hardwired to the CU directly or do they need a plug socket ?
 
Oh I didn’t know a sensor version existed. Do they still have a switch on the side incase of failure ?
 
I think I'll stick with your suggestion.
I've no idea about the PIR version and don't really want to experiment.
Have a few PIRs in a rental but they are located in a hallway
 
You can buy PTM switches (push to make) that can be recessed using a metal box into the door casing. They are a bit like the switch on a car door that turns on the courtesy light.
