Can anyone recommend some under cabinet LED lighting - either strips or individual lights but must be linkable. After my recent hassle with HF ballasts (I fitted magnetic ballasts with electronic starters in the end), I have decided to stay away from the linkable fluorescents. Cheers, Simon.

Just beware the very flat ones. The ones we have are a bastard to change bulbs in. Nothing to grip to rotate them. We have those and GU10s in the ceiling. Bollix

A lot of these fixings now come with a rubber suction cup making bulb replacement a doddle.
Are those them things that come with a rubber suction cup?
Forgive my last post.
I actually went FROM linkable LED lights TO fluorescents. The latter do output more heat but the former did not last at all. There must be something in the heat dissipation from that flat fixture or simply it was bad product but my best under-cabinet LED lights lasted for something like 10 hours tops, and most burnt out even before that. It was a couple of years ago; perhaps they've improved since but at that time I changed all LEDs to fluorescents (fortunately, they had the same socket) and never looked back.

I don't find the rubber suction cup makes it any easier. The difficultly is getting the pins to locate in the fitting.
Rubber suction cup not worth a f.all squared. Someone here recommended a ru bber kitchen glove and I found that to be the best for the GU10s. The under cabinet lights I was discussing depend on removing the flat round chrome b ezel with the translucent cover. Very little there to get a grip on.

I got a 5m strip of LEDs from Ebay for £19. I have them going under the u pper cupboards and along two plinths in my small kitchen. They look great a nd only use about 24 watts
At illuminolighting.com we make the best custom cut Under cabinet lighting. We build them specially for you in 1-2 days. Our lights have an output of 1500 lumens per meter and a really high Color Accuracy (CRI)
That will be a first for LED.
