Hi, I am trying to brighten up the laundry room by hanging those
inexpensive flourescent tube lights. One of the areas would
require it to be hung under the copper water pipes to the house.
Bbad idea or will it matter?

thanks!


Partly bad idea. It is the "inexpensive" part that is bad. Those
inexpensive lights are poorly made and give a lot of trouble. Get
some good ones. They will work better and longer. Well worth the
difference.


Yeah, Meehan is an idiot. Spend a couple of thousand on the lights
and a couple of thousand on hiring an electrican to install it.

geesh!!!


Apparently you have not read all the messages about those cheap lights.
They are especially troublesome in a damp environment as the sockets are not
as secure nor as corrosive resistant.

BTW Where did the electrician issue come from?
