Lights under wall units

[Liz79]

I am confused by the choice. I don't know what I should get. I think I want them hard wired into the mains (having a kitchen extension built so can put wires in), so you switch them on at the main light switch. Please help! Which is most useful/gives the best working light?

Anyone?

I think we're having LED strip lights for exactly. this

Yes warm white LED strip lights under cabinets here too.

Ace. Is that the best level of lighting & mains wired?

[ExplodedCloud]

DH is a right old fusspot about lighting And he's always right but don't tell him I said that so it probably is and yes all mains powered and switches on and off at the light switch.

I've got a seperate switch for the under unit lights. In the evening, when we have cleared up after dinner, i leave them on and turn the main ones off. It kind of creates a 'kitchen closed' feel. Also, i am trying to keep my hungry teenagers out of the cupboards!

Ours are mains wired. They turn on at the main light switch. They're on a tape that's stuck underneath the cupboards so you can't see it. Ours were a few quid from Hong Kong via Amazon or eBay. They've lasted 2 years so far!! It's lovely having them on in the evening.

Definitely get them mains wired to a normal wall switch. The ones we inherited with individual switches per light panel were such a faff I never used them.

Thanks everyone. Is the led strip the way to go?

We are also having an extention and are tempted but the multi coloured led lights that do white as well.....
