Replacing under cabinet fluorescent lighting with Leds

[600rob]

I've got two under cabinet fluorescent tubes that are connected to a switched fcu to replace with led lighting.

I'm considering using some thing like this.

These come with wiring and according to the instructions here

No control gear is required

I've not purchased the lights yet but I wanted to see If anyone has any experience of fitting something like this I place of what I currently have and can advise if I will need to make any modifications or wiring adjustments for a successful swap or if they are in fact a straight forward swap?

Straightforward swap, they are just 230V lights. Wire them up and away you go.

BUT

"This luminaire contains built-in LED lamp .... The LED lamps cannot be changed in the luminaire"

So when the lamp, or enough of the individual LEDs, fails, you'll have to fork out £17 for a whole new unit, assuming they still make them. If they don't make them you'll have to either replace both lights or put up with mismatched ones.

Seriously - go for lights where you can change the lamps, or use a simple LED tape. That's still an all-or-nothing replace, but at least they aren't going to disappear from the market.
