Discuss Installing LED low-voltage wire in kitchen cabinets in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I have LEDs under wall cabinets and in the bases of plinths to provide floor lighting. All looks good until you look inside or under the units. The required 12v drivers (power units - 240 to 12v) are free to float around and the very small twin flex to the LEDs themselves is difficult to fix and protect. At floor level it is not too bad because it is not normally seen or disturbed, but in the wall cabinets the wires must go to the centre of the cabinet base where the LED is located.
What is the best way to tidy it all up and protect the wires?
Comments appreciated.
 
Extend the extra low voltage wiring, put all the drivers on top of the wall units. Use trunking as Tel suggested or have the wall units off the wall (if possible) and run the cables behind them. You won't be able to fish the cables down the void at the back of the wall units, as there's normally a horizontal bracing bar, that will need notching.
