Hi,

Hope someone can help.

We currently have under cabinet lighting installed in our kitchen (by the developers when buying the new build). Keen to extend this lighting to above the cabinets, there are additional unused connections available in the current electrical supply. Struggling to find the correct JST connector to connect the additional lighting to the existing power supply.

Picture of current wire/connector and the hub attached. Any ideas what the connector is called/where these can be bought from?

Thanks,
S

That looks like pretty much standard fare, from the likes of Howden Kitchens etc. Can't remember the make.

Your best bet, is to ask your developer who the kitchen manufacturer is; under cabinet lighting probably supplied by them.
 
Very generic. Reminds me of a Screwfix kit I fitted recently.
Either their LAP brand or Sensio.
Very similar to the ones from Howdens kitchens but about 1/4 the price
 
Looks like the connectors on the Sycamore lighting under cabinet lights we often fit. Good products. Normally use the Sirius - which I believe is the same as what Howdens supply

It looks to be along the lines of a Molex connector:

Possibly these here:
