All right all you lovely electricians........

[bobmac]

I need some advice please.
I've recently installed some new shiney spotlights in my kitchen. Gone are the 'warm light' halogens and in with the new cool white LEDs Wow they're bright.
So far so good.
Until I switched on the under cupboard 30cm strip lights.
YELLOW :angry:
So now I'm looking for a way of replacing them with some form of LED cool strip lights.
Ideally I'd like to use the same 240V wiring thats in place and just replace the old with new LED.
Is that possible?
I need to join 5 in line, 3 down one side of the kitchen joined to 2 on the other side...all off one switch
I'm sure it can be done, how hard can it be?
Thanks in advance for any help.

How about stringing Christmas tree lights with white LED bulbs?

As a true dyed in the wool Jock, you will no doubt feel like slashing your wrists after finding out Oddsocks could have saved you 38p.

Have you tried holding the two ends of the wires and standing in a bucket of salty water????

 

[bobmac]

Only someone really stupid would do that.
Which reminds me, how are the family?

One positive thing has come out of the lighting project.
Shame it was AFTER I spent ages joining wires together with those little plastic clamps with the little screws you have to mess about with
The word is WAGO.
