Under Cabinet Lighting Questions
-- Hi all Just returned from Edinburgh where my daughter has a flat. There are some under cabinet lights in the kitchen which don't work and I was wondering whether they are even fit for purpose. To set the scene, there is a wall switch which controls power to two double surface mount sockets. Into these sockets are plugged transformers from 240v AC to 20v DC. The output from these is via twin bell wire routed behind the kitchen cupboards to airfare mount down lighters. The cupboards that these lights fix to are immediately to either side of a gas hob, which means they get seriously steamed. Unfortunately I only took my mains tester in my tool kit, so couldn't check the transformer output. Either way, there was power to the double sockets ok, but no bulbs operating. The questions a Are these appropriate fittings for this location? Will anything survive this close to a serious hob? What type of lighting would the group recommend if I can thread better cable up behind the cupboard? I have changed from fluorescent tubes to LEDs in my kitchen as the fluorescents didn't last long. But my fittings are much further from the hob, so the lighting type is arguably less sensitive. Any constructive comments appreciated.

Phil My first thought would be to research heat resistant fittings, as this seems to be the main problem.
