Hi all,

I'm rewiring lighting in my kitchen. The light switch is a 2-gang.
One switch switches the ceiling lights. The other switched the under
cupboard lights. I want to:
1. Move the under cupboard lights to the other side of the kitchen.
2. Have them switched by a switch just above the work surface, not the
wall switch.
Given all this, and the fact that the intended destination for the
lights is near the mains ring, am I allowed to wire the under-cupboard
lights from a FCU wired into the ring, rather than having to extend the
lighting circuit?

What you are suggesting is fine but this work does fall under Part P of the
building regs and thus notifiable to the LABC, you will also need to be
competent to test your handywork and produce a minor works certificate. This
may mean is is more practical to get a part p approved electrician to do the
work and test for you.
