[Spridgets] Eight foot fluorescent lights

[Geoff Branch]

Remember too that some of the cheapy (4 or 8') fixtures won't light in the 
cold.  I have 8' HOs in my shop and they light pretty well at 55, but they 
hum like crazy, so I leave the radio on.  BTW, I got a whole bunch of these 
for free from an electrician who was retrofitting supermarkets with more 
efficient units.  The supermarket chain was junking them.....extra bulbs 
too!!
