Kitchen Cab lighting

[Notadecor8ter]

Hi,

Has anyone got any resources on wiring under kitchen cabinets?

Got some at the moment but will be ripping these out.

I'd like to get them on a switch near the main light switch.

Not quite sure what you mean by resources?

Most decent ones nowadays are led and you could wire the switch to power a socket on each run of cabinets.Above the top units would be sensible so that the psu could be plugged in.

Mine operate on a "wave" switch which senses activity and turns the lights on

Resources = Websites/guides!

Wiring lighting is pretty basic. There is a whole section on lighting in the much underused WIKI
start your research here https://www.diynot.com/wiki/Electrics:Lighting

If you want a switch that is fed from your existing switch, you'll need to find out if there is a neutral in the switch, and be prepared to start chiseleing out your walls etc for additional cabling. As you already have lighting in place, a better solution maybe to install a wireless switch (Google 'wireless switch') to control the under cabinet light remotely.
