If you don't need the cold-weather feature I think you're better
off with conventional 4' fixtures though. Last longer, better
selection of bulbs.

And bulbs are a hell of a lot cheaper.

I have a sealed lighting unit that came off an oil rig. Big steel
box with some sort of transparent window. Makes a hell of a work
light..2 4' tubes, rugged as hell. Only problem is..the bulbs are
the type that have two close contacts in each end, inside of an
oval tit, unlike the two pin or single nipple type bulbs. The local
hardware store wants $14.USD for Each tube.

Gnerk!!!!!!!!!!

Ummm change out the "sockets" for the standard type and
proceed with the $0.99 4 foot bulbs?

The design is such..that it cannt be done without major surgery and a
redesign. Cheaper to toss it and buy one of the $10 fixtures

Costco has a 65 watt flourescent floodlight/worklight for $18.99. It puts
out a lot of cool light, although I can't predict for how long, some of
those cheapo fixtures have disappointed me in the past.
