    The tubes are 1200mm. I've just seen two different starters on the Bunnings site, but no description apart from a part number or any specifications. I'm not sure what I bought.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    it might also help (to save you running the lead if its raining or its some other small job) to get one of the amphibians from bunnings, its got a 10A plug an rcd/breaker and a 15A socket, I carry one to use when I dont need to wind the power up all the way and cant be bothered to run the lead to a 15A supply.

    I did that on my fitting in the garage. It was an electronic ballast with no starters. I ended up removing the ballast entirely and fitting a couple of "starter" sockets. The LED tubes came with "starters" which really are just fuses, so I wanted to put those in-line.

    Of course if it's an old fitting with a real ballast and starters then it's much cleaner upgrade. I must say I'm happy with both the colour and output of the LEDs.
