Fluorescent striplight for kitchen

My mum did the opposite: guess who is the one who changes the bulbs. Could anyone advise on the size and wattage needed in a room the size, also cheapest online source would be helpful. My kitchen is U-shaped 2.7 x 2.6 and I've got 2 x 1.5m single tubes each roughly aligned with the front of the worktops either side of the U. This means you don't create a shadow on the worktop when you're standing at it. -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk Free SEDBUK boiler database browser http://www.sda.co.uk/qsedbuk.htm |

It also makes a difference which type of tubes you use - the most efficient tend to look pretty horrid for domestic use. also cheapest online source would be helpful. Thanks in advance TLC is on average decent value. www.tlc-direct.co.uk I'd guess at a twin 5 ft as a starting point for a kitchen of that size with light painted walls and ceiling. -- *Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Thanks for the replies Mother being of the female breed has dispensed with any discussion and bought a 58w fitting from B&Q. And now wants it fitted ASAP ;-( Fred |
