Hi all,
I've been looking to replace my kitchen cabinet lighting and tracing the power feed I'm in need of a bit of advice.
I have a wall light switch that I can trace to a connector block, fed by a single 2.5 T+E. The connector block also feeds a light driver although I think this has since blown. Firstly, I'm not sure there should be a regular light switch on the end of this but I would like to keep it if possible.
I am planning on running the feed into a 5a fused spur. From there I would like a socket that can power a Philips Hue light strip. I am happy to wire this in directly but I have been informed that the PSU draws 600mA per metre of lights - I'll be running just under 4m so around 2.4A.
Additionally, I would like to replace the two cabinet downlights with LEDs and an inline Zigbee controller (e.g. like this) wired to two LED lights (e.g. these 8w types).
All from the wall light switch.
Doable with a 5A fuse to keep things safe for the wall light switch? I'd be happy to wire into cable outlets of the fused spur and not use traditional sockets.
