Hi,
Completely new here, and i've read a number of posts but im struggling to find anything that describes my lighting situation and a solution for it. So thanks in advance.
I've been reading up online this week about various smart technology and I understand enough to know i already want to purchase the following:
I looked at lifx which is cheaper, and actually has some better features but again its only 12v so the distance i need it to travel it just woudnt work. Plus a lot of gripes online about its a faff to setup and if wireless drops its a faff to setup again.
I've seen a lot of talk about getting "FLS-PP" and a bit of DIY with non branded lighting strip.
The problem I have is that I need LED strip under my 3 cabinets, but they are not joined with minimum of 1m gaps between them. I am not going to run ugly wires in sight, and im also not going to chase out walls (i've just moved in after renovating for 15 months and everything is brand new). My wife would kill me
Is there a way of plugging in the control end (of any solution) above the first cabinet (near the light switch/feed) and then taking the lighting ring wiring 2x1.5+1 and wiring this direct to the strip or in some way.
Any help would be appreciated. If you need more detail please ask.
Thanks
DT
