Hi all

I have been plagued with failures of T4 tubes under the cabinets
in my kitchen.

I haven't actually kept count but it must be half a dozen plus
tubes in four years in five fittings. The kitchen isn't subject
to any worse conditions than the average, no crystal meth factory
etc.

So I was looking at replacing these with the LED units linked below

Does anyone have experience of these? Any reason why the T4 tubes
(Eterna and Robus) are not lasting for a reasonable amount of
time?

Not tried those, but did do some under cabinet lighting with:

(powered from a small PSU that I "hid" in the cooker hood, and slaved to
its light switch)

Give a very nice even light onto the worktop.

(they do a waterproof version as well if you need wet service area
protection)
