Hi, hope you can help. I have what I think could be a simple situation. I have 2 lights in my kitchen, each with their own switch. 1 light is a fluorescent tube, the other is a 3-bulb fixture screwed straight into the ceiling. I'd like to replace both with standard light fixtures so I can then install plain flush 'plug in' fixtures

Before I start switching off fuse boxes, taking things down and exposing wires, what should I be considering? Probably more so to do with the flourescent tube as I'm not sure if they get wired the same.

I'm in the UK if that helps.

Thanks!
Vicky
