I am in need of additional garage ceiling lighting in the form of tube units. Any out there looking for a home in Kent?

I've got one the electricians never got round to fitting.
 
This week, I've replaced the 5' fluorescent lighting in my Utility Room for a 5' LED equivalent.

The difference is, pardon the pun, like 'night and day'.

Highly recommended.

Do you know which specific one you got? Been thinking of these for my garage but have seen a recent dicsussion on another forum that the light from them can be very directional and also weird colour.

If you buy cheap then yes. Buy a decent make like OSRAM or Philips then they are indentical to filtaments.

I have warm white (yellow) GU10 LED spot lights in hallway and Cool white in kitchen (white).

They use 8watt instead of 50watt each and have build in diffusers.

Question was about fluorescent's. As is the whole thread. :)

Just fitted new LED light battens under our kitchen cabinets and noticed during my research before purchase all known brands specify beam angle. I bought Sylvania high output units with 270deg throw

Probably too far away from you but I saw these in 2 skips at a local school this a.m.

Have a look on the Screwfix website. They're so cheap they're not even worth pulling out of skips
