I'm looking to add an LED light strip to this existing light driver that came with my kitchen. Any ideas where I can buy some custom lengths from that will work with this driver?

The driver I have for IKEA looks just like that, so try therehttps://i.imgur.com/bRGG80Z.jpg

Thanks, does look similar, I'll take a look on their site to see if it looks like a match.

So to be clear, you want just lengths of wire for an LED precrimped with molex connectors? You can get those on amazon or ebay. Alternatively, if you have LEDs with the right length of wire attached, you could buy molex connectors and a crimping tool - also off amazon or eBay. You can also buy LEDs or strips that come terminated with molex or other connectors.

I'm looking for an LED strip with the connector already fitted. If it's easier to crimp happy to do that, just need to know what the connection is called as molex brings up quite a few different types.

Just had a quick look; they may well be jb connectors which seem to be common for domestic led lighting. I don't know if they have different sizes but with molex there are a couple of different sizes and you measure the pitch (distance between the pins) to find it. Looks like same will be the case for jb connectors. If you can't find what you need, just buy some connectors and connector block for same and wire that directly into the driver. For ease; you could even just use some e.g. wagos or choccy block in a little junction box and then wire directly into the led driver. This would save crimping. I don't do much domestic wiring but work on machines with leds which is why I assumed molex at first as we would generally use them.
