No you don't. Your "separate electrical panel" is a sub panel off of the
main. Nothing "back-up" about that.


Maybe you misunderstood? My existing two fluorescent fixtures are power
off of the main. "Everything else" in the shop is powered by the
subpanel. If the C'Breaker corresponding to the sub-panel trips, my 2
fluorescent lights will still be shining. So they are a backup system, no?

Only if you had them turned on when the others blew.
