Moving to LEDs in the kitchen

[bushmins]

We currently have 5 lights I want to upgrade in the kitchen, two tube lights (under cupboards) and three spot lights (in glass door cabinets). I want to change all of these for LED strip lights.

Id like to keep it simple and use one socket (that will be connected the existing lighting spur, that is also currently fused). From that socket I want at least a 5 way splitter so I can use 5 strips of LED's. Trouble is I cant find a 5 way splitter on Amazon.
Can anyone help or have any advice for anything I may have overlooked?

Maybe this will work?

Although it would mean ill have 5 LED power supply boxes connected to it.

Any reason why using a junction box to connect those 5 driver to the mains is an issue? why do you need a splitter etc, i have not used LED strip before tbh

Ps. If you need to power from a plug and socket etc could wire a plug with flex then run this upto a junction box and wire the 5 drivers into that?

LEDs strips have a PSU for each strip as far as I'm aware. I don't want 5 separate 3pin 240v plugs. Id like one 3 pin 240v plug that will power all 5 LED PSU's.

I know you can connect LED strips via connectors (so one power supply could power all 5 strips) but the distances between light positions are quite large, I've not seen connectors that long.

Thinking on what you said, I could reduce the number of LED supplies to 3. Two pairs of LED positions are close enough to use a connector.

Depending on distance you could either wire a plug in flex and take it to an extension strip or add 5 sockets above the kit cupboards or cut the plugs off the psus and wire them directly into a junction box but that would void warranty etc
