Led light strips kitchen

[bettz]

Hi Mrs keeps banging on about under cupboard lighting as one of her pals has it.

I've been looking at the Philips light strips but am I right I'd need 2 power sockets as I can't see any way I could get the cable round the cooker without having to cut the strip.

To be honest I was hoping to hide the plug behind the microwave and get away using 1 but I don't see a way round the cooker or hood

If it wasn't for the upstand at the back of the worktop I'd suggest running the cables down from the socket, underneath/behind the base units, then up to the wall cupboards discreetly in the corners (behind the knife block and spice rack) in miniature trunking. If they can be removed and refitted without much mess then that's an option.

Another is behind the extractor or stainless splashback, if they are removable,with a short run up inside each wall cupboard.

Sorry, I can't help but point out that your socket outlets are way too close to the hob. The missus says 300mm is the minimum spacing.

Thanks I did think the plug was very close I'm not sure if it was persimmon or the previous owner which has made a few bodge jobs around the house which I keep finding.

For some reason we've a plug in the downstairs toilet above the fuse box. I have no idea why???

I have thought about taking it out but wouldn't have a clue what to do with the cables behind.

It seems to be a popular newbuild option, I know because I have the identical kitchen

Don't suppose you know where I can get another cupboard door

You don't need 2 plugs.

Interesting thanks gives me hope although I still have to get the cable pass the hob without it being seen
