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.

Man, I found those *great* $8.99 fixtures at Home Depot and put them up in
my unheated shop. (Maryland so it's been a bit chilly for a while now.)
The worst $60 I've spent for quite some time. Cold I could deal with...
but cold and flickering lights is a bit stiff.
