another wiring question
 

I'm adding a couple new switches/lights to our home. I found a power supply
for one (the pendant lights I wrote about yesterday), and I need to get
power to some under the cabinet lights. Can I just run two lines from the
same power supply? One to the pendant light switch, and one to the under the
cabinet lights' switch?

Maybe a little better description. What lights are being controlled by
what switch(s)? Where is this new wire going exactly. From what to what?
Are you planning for a ground wire?

No reason you can't, as long as all the connections are properly
contained within wiring boxes and the expected loads are within the
current capability of the breaker/wire size, which it sounds like they
should easily be.

(Don't forget the ground leads.)

If I remeber correctly, your power supply is a transformer? Check the
capacity of the power supply and make sure it can handle the load(lights).
I'm assuming the lights are all the same voltage rating.
