I am so fed up with the fluorescent light fixtures in my shop...

Man i hear ya. I have the old style large dimater flouresent tubes
from 30 years ago in my shop.

I replaced four of them with today's small diameter flouresent tubes.
MAN WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT. When time permits I'm replacing all of the
old ones.

I just got two tube four foot lights from Home Depot on sale for
about $12. Sorry don't remember the T#

The two eight foot (two four footers, end to end) and two four foot
fixtures in my shop all take T12 tubes and have porcelained
reflectors - basicaly industrial fixtures with spring (axial) loaded
sockets. these fixtures are probably at least fifty years old and I
keep babying them along in the hope they will outlast me. I also use
task lights as required.

LED for about $25. (need blank starters)
