Use switched fused spur with 3A fuse in it. Spur off the ring (make sure it is a ring first!). The output (load) side of the fused spur goes to your lights. TUrn the switch on and the lights will then light up.

A lot of under unit lights are extra low voltage, so you may want to run cable to a transformer(s) on top of the cabinet, and then run the ELV cables back down again to the lights.
