Cheapest striplight fittings for display cases etc?

The one bit of advice I would give, and I'm sure it would be backed up by all and sundry here. is that the incandescent strip bulbs are a financial disaster - the bulbs are very short lived and are expensive to replace. You wold be better in the long run, both from the cost and downtime point of view to dial up TLC and order in their undercabinet strip lights eg

exactly, as well as being unsafe.

Thanks very much. However, I can see that 221mm incandescants from some suppliers are within a few pence of the price of the 9 inch fluorescents sold by TLC. Also I think those particular units you showed me are just too bulky for my application. I need something more slimline if possible.

These lamps are only going to get very occasional use (about one evening per month if I'm lucky) so the lifetime seems less of an issue, and already we're talking about twelve pounds per unit for the kitchen under cupboard units. I've seen a few incandescant 221mm tube fitments for less than this but none yet that really fit the bill.

Try these, cheaper still

a singlle longer fl tube powered by a separate ballast is as slimline as you can get, cheaper to buy & cheaper to run. And you get 20,000 hrs per bulb chnage instead of 100/6 = 166 hours etc for filaments.
