Kitchen Plinth Light
Her who must be obeyed has been asking about low level plinth lights in
the kitchen. So as the things are already in place it needs to be thin. Any suggestions as to reliable thin lights... Dave |

Others have fitted tape to the underneath of the cupboard just in front of the plinth. Plnths are typically only clipped onto the legs. |

Dave It's an easy job! https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-fc2w5...mm-16-3w/411fh Not sure I would tape it in place - it's bound to fall down. Maybe a few bent over nails, but still, plug it in, voila! You can have disco lights if you want. TW |

Dave Something like this: https://preview.tinyurl.com/y3alvrpr glued to the top of the plinth with LED tape inside. That way the whole lot comes of with the plinth and the light is thrown further than if it was on the underside of the units. |

TW The couple of times I've used this type of LED strip the double sided tape on the back has been the weak point. It may stick and stay on a horizontal surface but I've found on vertical surface or where taken around a rounded corner the strips comes away after a relatively short time. Luckily for my two applications the strip wasn't visible so a cosmetically perfect fix wasn't important. I used a heavy duty double sided sticky foam strip designed for sticking car trim for one fix. I used hot melt glue for another fix. I note of some cheap light fittings that I have that use LED strips there is a mechanical fixing method, possibly backing up a double sided tape fixing. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Any suggestions as to reliable thin lights... No big deal to add a plinth to the bottom of the cupboards to hide lights. I did this ages ago to hide standard size florries. Tubes with separate ballasts. LEDs should be easier. -- *Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
