Fed up of the yellow effect from the light in our kitchen,0 -
done this but my main concern is that it makes my kitchen look yellow and want to upgrade to LED to a more daylight.0

I'd quite like the instant light from a LED, but I'll wait until I can get one as bright as my fluorescent.0

Why not buy a 4000K cool white fluorescent tube - cheaper, more light output and closer to day light.
Fluorescents aren't naturally yellowy coloured, it's down to the colour temperature of the tube you fit, same as with LEDs.

I don't honestly remember. There is a little starter thingy in there, but all I remember was worrying before I got it, but not having any problems at all. The instructions were pretty straightforward, as I recall.0 -
I purchased an LED one yesterday which is coming today. Also i had a Phillips 51w/840 tube of an electrician in work which apparently is a daylight bulb, so will try both and go from there. Thanks for the replies so far.0

Well bought an LED tube from LEDhut and its to bloody short which is my fault for guessing the length. Mine measures 176cm which i presume i need a 6ft tube which looking at their site dont do them? Can anyone recommend maybe a daylight standard florescent tube please rather than the warm white i got which makes everything yellow in the kitchen.0
