Hi, getting a new kitchen installed and I will be installing under cabinet lighting on wall units. Is 240V appropriate for this or is low voltage lighting required ? Thanks

Thanks, that makes it simpler. Just need to convert double socket to spur unit now for lighting supply.230/240V is fine.
Have not decided yet, does that make a difference to the voltage required ?Spot lights or strip LED?
thanks for that, strip led,s seem a better choice then and can be used on 240V ?It makes a difference on the voltage and proximity to any wet areas, strip LED's can be low voltage and run off a transformer as can spot lights, but most spot lights have depth and therefore require a housing of some kind, strip LED can be housed in a Tile Trim and look very neat and unobtrusive: Schluter Liprotec PB Lighting Edge Profile - Anodised Aluminium (Select Length) - https://lilleytileandstone.co.uk/schluter-liprotec-pb-lighting-edge-profile-anodised-aluminium.html
thanks, will check them out, main thought for me if using low voltage lighting would be where to hide transformer !The ones I linked the trim too are a Schluter product and 24volt off a low profile 240v transformer.
generally put transformer on top of wall units. after 10years scrape off the coagulated fat to improve cooling.thanks, will check them out, main thought for me if using low voltage lighting would be where to hide transformer !
