cupboard lighting design options

Sounds like Marmite then. Either love them or hate them?

Indeed, push-to-break !

My mistake....I have PTM switches on the brain recently.

The daylight balance (true colour for the fashion conscious ) under cabinet lights that I have use a sensor to detect movement and join in a chain.
Powered off a wall wart style psu

Question here.
If i was to fit one of these in each cupboard (looped-in) ( switch for each) :

Would 1mm2 or 1.5mm2 be sufficient?
Put on a 6a circuit.
And would the circuit need RCD protection ?

1mm is sufficient. All circuits now need RCD protection. This is traditionally at the CU. You don’t need a second RCD locally if that is what you mean.

When placing the lamp(s) consider the very small risk of a fire due to something coming into contact with the lamp left ON when the door was shut.

Here's what I'm planning.

Picked up one of these lights:
https://www.toolstation.com/laghetto-240v-led-round-under-cupboard-light/p22705
It's double insulated and comes with what looks like 0.75mm flex cable??

Intending to use these junction boxes:

Diagram shows one way switching for the one light, but I'm intending on extending the circuit from the first junction box and wiring it all up in exactly the same way for the second cupboard light and switch.

Look ok?
Given the wattage and type of bulb (LED) is this still a fire risk if left on accidentally?

Just to say thanks all for commenting.
Rigged up the cupboard lights and all good.

I wouldn't think so, as long as the fittings are mounted the minimum distance from another object and the fitting is F marked (if mounted on wood).

Cannot find the full instructions online, but it is said to be suitable for mounting under cupboards, so it must be F marked.

Edited for clarity.
