So - go for 2ft tubes then.....

I've never done this 'lighs on top of the wall units' thing before -
presumably the best way to determine 'how many' tubes is to actually try
it & see ?
Probably looks better if all wall-units have illumination above them ...?

Thanks

===============================
Homebase had some 3' fittings yesterday so they might be worth looking at.

Cic.

Thanks for the suggestion. Never heard of 3ft fittings before - you
live & learn g

I'd be a bit wary of finding that, having bought them, you couldn't
get replacement tubes easily.....

Being 'out in the sticks' here in S-W Ireland, it's a 2 hour drive to
the nearest Homebase - so I'll try the specialist lighting shop in the
next town. Who knows - they might even be clued up on different
'colours' of tubes !

Many thanks
Adrian

I wouldnt use 3' ers.

If you want to try it out, why not get some 50p lamp holders on flexes,
put cfls in them and bung them up there. Adjust till happy.


Might just do that g
Tried the local lighting shop - they had lots of little
'mini-fluorescent tubes' for mounting under the wall-cabinets - but
nothing in the way of larger units for bouncing light from the top of
cabinets.

CFLs might be the way to go - I have a couple of high-intensity units
that I use for photography - that's somewhere to start.....

Thanks
