[QUOTE="Pat Slight, post: 449997, member: 29292"] Hi i hope someone has the answer to this. Ok we have just had a new kitchen fitted and i have installed under cabinet lighting 12 volt. It is Led strip and 1 side cabinet is 1.6 meters long and the other side is 2 meters long. I have 2 power supplies 1 for each side. they are 12 volt linked to the wall switch. Now my problem is about every 2 weeks when i switch them on it trips my fuse in the main fuse board. just the ground lights fuse and nothing else. the spot lights and pendents don't do this. The led stripe roll is 24 watts per roll and i got a 5 meter roll but used less than that. The power supply's are input 240v 50-60hz, Output 12v DC6.66A 80 watts and this has 2 12v outlets but im only using 1 each side. I have tried different Led strip tape but did the same. I have found a mention of inrush! am i right in thinking its like a sudden serge to power to the leds or power supply? I know my house electrics are all fine as i have had a full electrical test after my building work was finished and signed off. Is it possible to up-rate the ground lights fuse in the main fuse bored to stop this? Please help. Regards Pat Slight [/QUOTE]
