Whilst re-fitting a kitchen and having discovered that the wiring was wrong I have decided to extend the ring main in the kitchen, whilst doing this and in the planning stage I wanted to know whether it is acceptable and good practice for the following:
The cupboards are on three separate walls and will have low voltage lighting powered by a suitable transformer fed from a FCU. Could I also include in each FCU a switch line that will be run back to a switch placed next to the existing light switch, to enable the switching on of all the ‘under cupboard’ lights at once rather than going around to each unit and switching them on individually using an architrave switch. This would be achieved by connecting the S/L in the metal box of the individual FCU’s using a terminal block.
