- Lots of light is a must. I have six 8' flourescent fixtures, with additional 4' fixtures over the lathe and mill. When I get around to it I will replace the 8' flourescents with high-efficiency inca

- Most shops I've been in have fluorescent (note spelling) lights and haven't had a problem. I have a bigger problem with incandescents casting shadows on the work I'm dealing with. I have fluorescent

- Hmm. You know, that one *sounds* logical, but I've never run into that problem. I spent three years in a production machine shop running various lathes and mills, all under flourescent lighting, and

- What I've never figured out was, why the light was $8-$10, but a replacement ballast is $15-$20. Cheaper to just buy a new light, though it offends my sensibilities.

- I've never ripped into one to the "workshop" lights I pick up, but they're far too light to have a ballast in them. I always assumed they had some funky little circuit that didn't put out decent-eno

- You are probably getting a better ballast when you buy a replacement. My biggest problem with the cheap lights is that they have low quality 50 degree ballasts that flicker, etc. If your shop is not

- I dunno, we've been using the dual-4' flourescents in the house for ten, twelve years now. Lots more light and less heat load than incandescents. Yeah. Right. They used to be $10, most places. Then

- I pulled apart one of the lights I have over the weekend. Rather than the usual sized ballast, this had two separate transformers, one for each bulb, roughly an inch or so cube. They're noisy, but p
