Hi,

Just wondering the best way to connect 12 LED Tape into mains lighting circuit - I only ask because its currently used in my house as cupboard downlighting in the kitchen and i've been told that this isn't allowed, but i think its fine.

Basically, a switched live and neutral from a light switch comes into one of the kitchen cupboards. This is wired directly into an LED driver, and the low voltage output wires go through a small hole in the base of the cupboard unit tat terminate on the LED strip. Is that acceptable or has it been bodged? My only concern is you can see the grey T&E cable coming out of the stud wall into the back of the cupboard before it terminates into the LED driver. The Driver is fixed to the base of the cupboard.
