Hi
I'm installing a new kitchen and the new ring and oven mains will be installed by electrician.
I'm looking at counter top/worktop lighting systems and wonder how I should be asking for this to be wired in.
Can it be part of the power layout or does it have to come off lighting circuits?
How are such lights normally switched - with box buried in wall and standard light switch or with some sort of inline switch?
How is cabling to light fitting normally run - in or under overhead cabinets? In conduit?
Some of the available lights are low voltage with 13 amp plugged tranformer so presumably they need a socket. Where is this normally sited (in cupboard?) and so how do you switch such lights on if they don't have integral switches?
I can wait until the electrician comes but then I will be rushed to do it the way that suits him and we won't necessarily get the easy to use lighting we want - both my wife and I have upper limb limitations which mean we need to have switches easily accessible.
Any thoughts or advice graetfully received
