replacing flourescent strip light
 

All,
I would like to remove the strip light we have in the kitchen and
replace it with halogen spot lights. Simple question - are the electrics
the same or will I need to make any changes to the cables feeding the
mounts ?? Different thickness for different power etc etc ?? Maybe a
silly question, but better to ask !

The existing cabling should be fine for this. It will be a simple case of
transferring the red "L" and black "N" to the L and N connections on the new
fitting. You should also have an earth connection on the fitting marked by
an "E" or an arrow like symbol, which is connected to the green/yellow
covered conductor.

Thanks - I'm fine as far as the electrics go (I should be - I have a degree in
it!!), just wasn't sure about the fittings, cable diameter etc etc.

Cheers.
