Help with wiring my kitchen extension

middle74 · Jun 23, 2014

I am running a new 1.5mm supply into my kitchen extension.
I would like advice on how to connect up my lighting.

I want to
1. Install 8 LED down lighters controlled by 4 gang 2 way switch.
2. Install under cabinet lights wired into the 4 gang above.
3. Install outside lights again to be wired into the 4 gang switch.

I also need to establish a supply for the electric underfloor heating. Do I use a 2.5mm supply off the rig main?

Many thanks for any assistance

hi middle74.
not sure what you're hoping the outcome from this post will be, but if it's a step by step guide on how to do the job, you're in the wrong place.
What you want to achieve is far beyond the capability of a diy - er and the best advice anybody here can give you is to get a few local electricians round to give you a quote.
It is not necessary for you know how to do the job.as long as your electrician does

This needs moving to the DIY thread before anyone people really get their teeth into it

Sorry but this is really beyond the skills of any DIY-er on so many levels. The words of "Get an Electrician in" are the words of professional electrical members, please do not put your self at harm just to save a few quid!

Post up your town/city and ask a member to quote this free of charge. That is the best answer to your question, sorry.
