We've a small kitchen in an extension, approx 3x2m, it's about to
be gutted and we're looking at lighting options.

I'd stick a 5 foot LED striplight in it but that's not going to
get past managaement,she's talking about spots.

I'm not a fan of spotlights, i've never felt like they fill an
area with light. Am I wrong, are some better than others?

General lighting opinions appreciated.



Under cupboard and above cupboard LED strips are must theses days
to the obligatory spot lights.


Would one tend to wire them into the lighting? Or stick them on a plug?

As ours were added later, they are on a fused spur added next to a
socket on the kitchen ring. If I'd planned for them years earlier,
they'd have been on the lighting and with two or three gang switch at
the kitchen doorways.


On the lighting circuit.

With a 6 gang light switch if needs must.



Are the scrawny tails on the LED driver a concern? Should there be
something between these and the 5A?


Depends. Has the driver got a CE mark on it and if so is it the European
one or the Chinese one:-)
