Review: Ideal Length For My Needs - I was really happy with these 4ft Fluorescent Tubes.They were exactly what I was looking for, the perfect length for the fitting in my kitchen where they were going to be used.A nice type of light the Cool White and due to the fact that the lights on not on for a particularly long time in a kitchen, they will last for a considerable amount of time which is obviously very useful.They were a competitive price and with an item like this it's always much more convenient to have them delivered as oppose to buying them in a store and trying to get them home which I feel is an awkward thing to have to do.
Review: Perfect light - Quickly delivery arrived in one piece did what it said it would do, brought me light. Good value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I buy the fittings and cable to fit this to the ceiling**
A: You can get them from Toolstation or screw fix and some places on Amazon but will need to make sure it comes with a Starter!

**Q: Hi, is this exactly 4ft? The one I need is 120cm... just under 4tf**
A: bought this 7years ago & its long gone.  My thoughts -- if it says its 4 ft it probably is
