Is there an alternative to fluorescent under counter lighting? I'm getting fed up with changing the strip lights every six months or so.

I guess you mean under the wall units, melv?

Lots of the "tube" lamps around are cheap and nasty. They're just filament lamps. Proper fluorescents normally have a good long life span.

As I'm often saying on here - go for LEDs. Try here............

Yes, I meant under the wall units. There's no room for spots, so I'll have a look for some better quality strip lights. Thanks for your reply.

I got a strip of led lights from Lidl, complete with plug, and fixed that under my cupboards. Works really well but the adhesive back of these lights is notorious for giving up. My solution has been to hook it through white cup hooks. Anti-fashion, that's me.

Is changing light bulbs every 6 months that difficult?
