Re: LED Kitchen strips

[Stuart Grimshaw <stuart.grimshaw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to let you know I'm not being rude letting this thread die ;-)

I'm looking at the ones Ken suggested, I'm not really after halogens
or flourescent ones, so they look spot on (spot? ... lights? get it?)

These ideas have been added to the list of stuff to mix in to the
kitchen budget, thanks everyone.

light to see where you're going but not enough to be of any real use in a
