[Shop-talk] Replacement florescent bulbs F42T6

[lee at automate-it.com]

I needed under-counter lighting, and installed these last year:
https://amz.run/4I2z They're working great for me.  

No idea of the nature of your existing fixture, but it sure seems like
you could stick a row or three of these into an empty fixture.  

Yep, $16 for a 16-ft long strip, just cut to length. I just doubled back
for more light in a given area. Various color temperatures available
(and adjustable), the adhesive on the back is high quality and stuck
really well for me (to a very clean surface). You can spend a few bucks
more and get ones you control from your phone, etc.  

I also jumped around corners and across sections with these
https://amz.run/4I35 , these https://amz.run/4I36 and these
https://amz.run/4I3A .
