    wiring under cabinet strip lights supply or load

    wiring under cabinet strip lights supply or load

    Hi anthony, thanks for your repy, it just confuses me because in post number 2 it is mentioned that I double up the "Load". I kind of think it doesn't matter but I'm not 100% sure. Cheers

    That's great Strima/Timbo, that would just do the trick. Can I just go back to my earlier query above and clarify whether I should use the "Load" or"suppy" to double up the cable for the 2nd connection plate. Or does it really matter? Thanks again

It's just that the wires seem to hanging out of the chockbox and I just feel that it would be better wired into a connection...

    How to wire a 12V DC mini fan

    Sounds a bit mad but just to clarify, the shelf above gets SLIGHTLY warm from the fire below. If I position a free standing fan near the area it keeps the area quite cool. So it's not a major issue, just looking for a little fan to do the job. Thanks for the advice received, very much appreciated
