LED Strip Lights in kitchen
Has anyone used these
http://www.screwfix.com/search.do?_d...h_search=58380 for under cabinet lighting in a kitchen? They're described as White LED Strip Light Kit for sign and cabinet lighting. but no indication is given of light output. At 67 quid I'm not going to buy one on spec to see if they're any good. Are there any similar products elsewhere? Cheers, Andrew |

It's risk free trying the Screwfix stuff though as you could always send it back after evaluating it? Steve |

Are there any similar products elsewhere? Ikea have (dunno if they still do).... actually looks on interweb http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50119407 Not identical to the ones I fitted as in them days you had a choice of white or blue or green. I obviously used the white ones. You can connect the strips end to end so only need power at one end providing you don't go beyond 4? strips I think I used 4 on one run and 3 on the other. Light given off is more a background "mood" light, but they are plenty bright enough to do stuff by. I expect much brighter ones are available these days though. Very good though as they are extremely discrete and the connecting wire is very thin and long.

Think will require your own power supply though. http://www.rapidonline.com/ Go to electronic components - opto - Tru-Opt -- *You sound reasonable......time to up my medication Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Apologies - I hadn't noticed they came in two variants :-} I actually meant to make a comment to that effect on my earlier post - but sent it before doing so.
