Gosh -- you found an enlightened electrician.
Assuming you mean HF (high frequency).
Mostly they fit mains voltage downlighters, which result
in appauling lighting, and high bills.

Never heard of this - anyone know
whether it works and is it safe? * * TIA.

It's probably the best lighting available for a kitchen.
However, that's largely down to the type and positioning
of the fittings. I always conceal them -- on top of
cupboards lighting the room by bouncing light off a
brilliant white ceiling, and under cupboards to provide
worktop task lighting.


Fluorescent lighting is great _if_ the details are got right. Get them
wrong and its/ just unpleasant.
