What I did was to buy LED strip lights with regulators. The good ones can be cut to length and wired directly to the 12V. So.... you can
1) use silicone adhesive and glue them to the tubes
2) remove the tubes and glue them to the housing.
either way, the light comes out much more like the floresent tube rather than using the rectangular arrays.
Like Mex says, over a stove, I prefer something in the 5000K range, not the 3500K range.
Thanks. I kind of like that solution. Being dense again - what is the benefit of the regulators? And can you provide a link to an example of one that could be cut to length?
Also, In some of the other threads, the lights look SO BRIGHT! I am not looking for more light - just lights that come on when I turn them on. One of my spare 12" fluorescent bulbs says it puts out 400 lumens, so I think I would want the same amount of light out of LEDs. Sounds like I need to be careful and do some research.
