Hello all,

does anybody know of a source for very cheap fittings for striplights
such as the standard 221mm 30W incandescant double-ended strip bulbs, of
the sort that are used by furniture manufacturers for lighting display
cases, cupboards, under shelves, and that sort of thing?

There are are variety available online but I'm after the cheapest sort
imaginable as they will not be directly visible. Thy don't need integral
switches or to be rated for bathroom/kitchen humidity and all that jazz.
Just the cheapest possible fitting in ugly cheap plastic. Surely I ought
to be able to get something for around a fiver, especially as I need
fifteen of them!

Any leads much appreciated.

The one bit of advice I would give, and I'm sure it would be backed up
by all and sundry here. is that the incandescent strip bulbs are a
financial disaster - the bulbs are very short lived and are expensive
to replace. You wold be better in the long run, both from the cost and
downtime point of view to dial up TLC and order in their undercabinet
strip lights eg
