[Spridgets] Eight foot fluorescent lights

[Charlie]

Agreed,. Friends come over and can't believe how bright my shop is and with 
the white plastic backed insulation it really lights up.  Now it doesn't get 
as cold here in Oklahoma as it does up north but even in winter if my shop 
is at 38 these pop right on, I did get the HO cold start ballast though and 
that does help.  No humm either.  Once the heater kicks in and or after a 
few moments they go to full power.  No issues, I paid a bit more but they 
work.
