Tim,

Unfortunately depth is a big issue =96 as they=92re in shelves you only
hav=
e
about 22mm depth to play with, ruling out all of the recessed shower
lights=
.
Could consider LEDs but they would need to fit in the compact format.

Funnily enough I had a load of daisy-chained compact fluorescents in my
las=
t
kitchen and all the bulbs went twice in the first 18months =96 eventually
Ryness (I think it was) replaced all the fittings as a bad batch with ones
similar to the TLC ones which worked well.

Looks like I=92m just unlucky =96 best stay out of the kitchen :-)

Our kettle is situated like yours, although it is at the end of the run of
wall units so I do try to direct the spout out from underneath the
cupboards. However, my under-cupboard lights are slim-ish fluorescents
(lik=

these http://tinyurl.com/ey3ko),
hidden by a moulding on the underside of
the row of units. We have 6-8 of these lights around the kitchen (they link
together a bit like the LED strips recently discussed) and in 5 years I
think I've only replaced one tube, and that wasn't near the kettle.=20

Have you got the depth to hide LED deck lights? These would be rated for
outdoor use, so may survive a bit better than regular cabinet lights.

HTH,

Tim.
