What fittings are people using for replacing fluorescent strip lights? Looking for something with bulbs that customer can change rather than integrated? There are obviously plenty of led tube options but surely there must be something smaller/less bulky?
Customer asking for lighting for range/hob as it is really gloomy at night.
Issues being getting power there, and the curved profile which is more pronounced than the picture looks.
I'm interested how others would approach this one.
My current (only!) idea is D-Line min-trunking over tiles...

Hi all, I really hope this is the correct place in the forum.
tldr; Oven and boiler take turns to trip the breaker, but I don't think it's either of them so any help would be greatly appreciated.
