Question Strip lights

The strip light in my fridge has blown as has the one in the cooker hood/fan/light. duendes

I think I will try the shop where we bought the fridge for replacement but have no idea where to look for the cooker one. It is a strip light but the connections are on the side rather than the ends. Anybody know best places ?

Thank you

I use public transport and was hoping someone would know exactly where to try. I will take them both to the shop in the village but my spanish is not very good at all and probably will not be able to understand any suggestions if they don't have them.

Well duendes again, it is absolutely chucking it doon oot there. I have no wellies nor waterproofs so lights may have to wait.

Thanks Willie but not around here I don't think.

Do you have a strip light like this?

¿Hay un tubo como este? while waving the defective one under his/her nose
