Kitchen unit lights

How should I wire my kitchen unit lights?

It has just occured to me I should've used BROWN for the live. I think the new colours should be lime green, apple green and pea green. Hmm.

Anyway, how should I wire my kitchen unit lights?

neither, there is no neutral or earth. see the for reference topic it shows how its done

 

[notb665]

*sighs* Of course there's a neutral and earth. I just drew the live for clarity.

And I looked in the references and couldn't find what I was looking for; that's why I'm asking now.

Either would work. But it might depend on what you have got at the lamp end for making and housing connections.

Either would work.

Unless, of course, Fig. B shows them wired in series...

The lights are kitchen unit 'link lights'. There are actually going to be 2 on each side.

Diag A would save me channeling out for a double cable thickness rather than one. So if they are both OK, I'll do that one.

 

[breezer]

but there is only one wire, and thats red?

 

[notb665]

Yes, that's right, because I have a live only. There's no need for earth or neutral, you see.

LOL!! I've got to do this soon and I was planning on method A. This is how the leccy did my last kitchen also, using link lights for that also.
