MaryAnn,

If the worried about tape lights is in response to my post, what looks like tape lights isn’t. It’s a thin circuit board painted white with many single LED’s attached giving the appearance of tape. They’re also trapped under a clear protective plastic lense.

When I said just throw away, I meant the “bulbs” aren’t serviceable. It’s a throw away fixture. LED’s last A LONG time.

There are a couple of flaws to the typical LED light. They are very directional, they do not flood the area very well so the higher you mount them the better, and the color is not natural although fluorescent isn’t much better.
