I would reccomend mutiple floursecents. They are cool and cheap. The more,
the better.


I agree with the fluorescents. You can put different color temperature
tubes in, (instead of the stock ones that give everything that pukey
green tint) which will give you much better results when staining.

However, I recommend not going with the $8-11 garage fixtures. The
ballasts last about a year and can not be replaced. At minimum, buy a
fixture in which the ballast can be replaced. You should be able to
find $15-18 fixtures with ballast replacement under 10 dollars. The
ballasts will last at least a few years, and the fixture is stronger
than tin foil.
