Hello I have 4x t8 single florescent strip lights in my garage which is approx. 5m square. The lighting is poor. I would like to replace, what I would really like is to use are 2x spotlight bars using LED bulbs which I have in the kitchen and are great, however I am not 100% sure how safe these are as the roof is wooden beams with tounge and groove wooden ceiling above with felt etc. Would this be a potential fire risk ? My electrician is away on holiday and would like to have everything bought before he comes back, many thanks mark

Another spark on holiday?
I tell you what, I must have been doing something wrong for the best part of 30 years...

That seems most unsuitable and not a good choice.
Is your kitchen 5m. square and all dark colours?
What is the kitchen ceiling made of?
Not if you follow the installation instructions.
Electricians work on a supply and fit basis.

Wow don't know what to say I will give you something though he's not on holiday he's on the run with all my cash part p though so that's alright at least it's legal so pretty please with sugar on the top can I put a spotlight bar on a wooden beam without setting fire to my detached garage ? All my love mark x
Chivers67 that is brilliant many thanks mark
You could run led strips around the perimeter, this would prevent unlit areas as you always have light from four side.
Foxhole thanks for that are they via a transformer or 240v ? Could you recommend a brand ? Cheers
Neither. They run from a 12volt DC power supply. Look on eBay for LED strips using 5050 LEDs.
Cheers
And buy yourself a head torch as well, so you can see in the corners.
Funny without being condiscending marvellous
Its a skill.
Err - excuse me - what part of "the OP came here and LIED to us" does nobody seem to get?
