My exisitng kitchen lighting circuit is on a spur from the main ring above my kitchen (lighting circuit currently unused - was previously for 2 fluorescent tubes).
I want to use this circuit to light up a large frosted cupboard above a worktop.
On this circuit I wish to have a set of mains voltage shelf lights & a set of Low Voltage Downlighters.
I know how to do this from an electical point of view, however, I am unsure what the regs say when it comes to the positioning of junction boxes in the kitchen.
Do junction boxes need to be a certain distance from a cupboard, or could it be screwed to the underside of my cupboard?
Note - I will get my electrician in to complete this circuit and several other projects I am working on, once i am happy on the cable routings (I have made the mistake too many times in the past of getting an electrician in, for them to surface mount everything, only for me to pull the circuit apart to recess it into the wall in the future!)
