That looks very swish. Have you got details of where you got the LED strip from please? I've got a minor pimp planned ;)

It's RGB strip from Ebay.

Great thanks. Did you get a few extra 'tails' to allow the sections to be wired up once cut or were you able to solder directly to the connectors?

No. The stuff can be cut to length using scissors. You then have to remove a small section of the plastic cover with a blade & can solder directly to the strip, just wire in using RGB 4 core wire, again from Ebay.

Forgive my ignorance, but where did you get the over head cabinets from? And (being cheeky) how much were they / do they hold much etc?

Thanks

They are pretty small capacity wise, but condiment & glasses etc fit.

Morning Mark. I think you may have sent a reply to my pm but it has not come through. Could you post a reply here please? I asked how you wired it all up....straight to the LB or to a socket?....I have ordered all the stuff you suggested, from Ebay. Thanks for any info. Keith.

I was wondering if this strip lighting would be suitable, I think its 12mm wide and is linkable
