Under wall cupboard LED lighting the kitchen advice

[markymark2406]

So i'm pulling in cables in readiness to having a new kitchen installed and want to get it right.
Im having LED strip lights under the Cupboards and need to know or want the ask where the LED drivers should be put, some people say leave them on top of the units, No one will see them and some say screw to the bottom of the cupboard, no one will see them there either.
any advice please ?

My suggestion would be to have the power supply on top of the units. If the power units are plug in types then a 13 amp socket would be needed for them.

( One person on this forum will re-state his opinion that 13 amp sockets should not be supplied by a lighting circuit )

Have you already bought the LED Strips? Are you having White or Colour?

I have Mains Warm White LED Strip Lights under my Cabinets.
Give a good Light

Like any other light in a domestic dwelling, just a switch, no fuse apart from the on in the CU, so the consences is to have the drivers on top of the units out of site?

I have my driver's out of sight on top of the cabinet.
The drivers can get hot - heat rises; I like the idea that the drivers won't be cooking in their own heat, or heat and moisture from the hob and kettle trapped by the cabinet cornice!

...and as in another thread - I use these for easy isolation
