As part of the kitchen re-fit I need to fit under-cupboard lighting, but
it's going to be a pain to run extra cables to the light switch
(assuming I replace it with a 2 gang) and I don't want to have the
cupboard lights switched with the room light.
There's power available at the cupboards so I was wondering about just
using local switching, but are there any other ideas I should consider?

You can get wireless switches

A friend recently added plinth and cornice lighting to his kitchen. He
already had pelmet lighting.

Power was available to all places -via different circuits- but there was
no switching available. He used remote control sockets.

and also added the centre light and pelmet to the set up


That (and the TLC and other) is a nice system but the cost mounts up.
This is a "modest" kitchen, and not mine.
