Under cabinet kitchen lighting

Sponsored Links
I used linkable LED "tubes", eg:


They are pretty generic and assume they are much of a muchness. Cooker hood was the nearest power source, did require drilling some holes in the hood where it meets the cabinets either side, but it's all hidden away and means the cooker hood light button controls the cabinet lights, which is exactly what we wanted.
Sorry a bit late to this party but is there available a 5m figure of 8 available so I can have the light at the other side of the kitchen come on at the same time. I have a fused spur at one side of the kitchen which I would wire one directly into then from that one light go back up behind the wall unit and up into the ceiling across to the other side of the room and down to under that cabinet.
Or could I cut off the figure of 8 connectors and swap out the short wire for a longer length of 0.75m2.

Oh is that all it is. I was thinking it was some sort of bespoke fitting figure of 8 just for that. Although they do say it is polarised which I can work out by cutting off the end of the supplied short one and a simple continuity test.
So I could go from one light up the cabinet over the ceiling and down to the top of the other cabinet top with a junction box there, then another figure of 8 down to the light.

Actually as its a polarised figure of 8 I think I would need a polarised cable to fit. Looking at the pictures I think it might just be a standard C7 extension cable but polarised.
