For some context im getting a new kitchen, missus has chosen units that go almost to ceiling, will be a gap of about 35mm.
i have installed cables to above the 3 sections of units and also various points underneath.
due to small gap i dont think ill get away with putting sockets above units and then plugging in the chunky transformer type plugtop that i assume will come with the lights.
So im hoping the plug can be cut off and cable stripped a little and then joined to mains cables using a thinner connector block box?
Has anyone got any experience of this?
its quite an outlay on lights to not work
TIA

It looks like you get the following in the Phillips Hue box, obviously with a UK 3 pin plug.
I have an electrician calling round tomorrow (about something else) and I’ll ask him if there are any led strip lights that can be mains wired (rather than a plug in a socket).
i have wired spurs into the ring, with 1mm flex protected by 3a fuses, i will hopefully just connect them directly to flex with joint boxes.
i am an electrician, so all good on the wiring aspect etc, im just now wanting to spend £50-60 on a lightstrip kit and cut the plug off, to find out its the plug that is the transformer, was hoping someone had already taken the leap
