Good afternoon everyone,
I'm currently in the middle of a DIY kitchen renovation and I am stumped by the current lighting wiring.
Currently, there are 2 under cabinet LED lights which are powered by separate transformers placed above the kitchen cupboards. These transformers sit pretty close to each other, either side of the extractor.
The transformer on the left is very close to the fridge freezer which gives me access to the back of the kitchen plinth, where I want to install a LED strip which runs along the plinth.
The right hand side transformer and wiring will then be redundant and not needed. My initial thought was that the right hand wiring was piggybacking the left hand one, to run the other LED light, but when I took the front of the off the wiring I wasn't able to pull it through the left hand box.
Am I right in thinking that these two would be directly connected to each other here or would they be connected at the light switch itself? If I only wanted to use the wiring from one of these lights, what do I do with the other one if I can't pull it through?
I have attached some images for reference. One image shows the back of the 3 gang light switch on the wall. The other two are the wiring for the current LED lights, this wiring goes into a transformer and then the wiring for the LED light attaches to that.
I hope all of that makes sense
Thanks,
Dan
