The 8 footers are fairly common in commercial buildings, but I've never
seen any longer than that.
Actually, I dont think I'd want to handle any longer than 8'. Even the 8
footers are clumbsy and easily broken, not to mention difficult to
install without a second person on the opposite end.
This past summer, the citizens of Escubria, Italy made a 106-foot
fluorescent bulb. It was certified by so-and-so's book of records.
It required a special vacuum chamber with openings at both ends, so
that the long bulb could be put in from one end and pushed all the way
through.
