I'm installing a second hand kitchen in our kitchen.
I've newly installed three lighting circuits all controlled from the door that were intended for:
1) 8 spots in the roof
2) Pendant light over the dining table
3) Under cabinet lights
All lights need to be dimmable and work with the LightwaveRF Gen1 three gang dimmer.
The spot lights I think I've got sorted. The pendant light is also fine.
The problem is with the under cabinet lights because:
1) I want them to be dimmable LED strip lights (we want uniform worktop lighting)
2) I want to add a pair of dimmable LED spot lights to the two narrow wall cabinets as they have glass fronts.
I want these new "in cabinet" spot lights to be part of the same lighting circuit as the under cabinet lights.
Where we stand at the moment is we've got the cabinets on the walls and the tails for the under cabinet lights coming out the walls but nothing wired up.
This is an image of the kitchen in the old house:
The red line is the wire coming in and shows roughly where the tails are coming out the wall now (obviously underneath the cabinets and out of sight)
The green line shows where I'd like to install the LED strip lights
The blue circles are where I'd like to install the LED spot lights inside the glass cabinets - powered by the same red circuit.
What should I buy for:
1) The LED strip lights?
2) The LED spot lights?
and (given I've got about 1cm behind the cabinets to play with) how would you recommend wiring them up?
EDIT:
Was looking at this LED strip light:

and then for in cabinet lighting just something like this:

Can I just run a spur up the wall behind each cabinet from each of the tails under each cabinet?
