Interior Light - fluorescent strip tube

Post by eppiblue » Sat Mar 26, 2011 2:34 pm

Just about to order a replacement strip tube but thought Id ask if anyone has found one of these that emits a more natural/yellow light than the usual cold white light?

Perfect, fitted this morning and emits a soft yellow light, about £5 delivered. Thanks for the link!

That's great, we got our "U" tube there and a spare as we have a second one mounted in the Cab area to light from the front of the Van in the evenings (we use the footrest seat with a proper seat on it) so it gives much more even lighting and with the warm white its much easier on the eyes for reading and laptop viewing!
