Fl lights last so long that the tubes need to be cleaned occasionally,

Something else I forgot mention - it is well worth going for a fitting
that has a nice tight fitting diffuser. Not only will this make the
light nicer to work in, and keep the dust of the tubes, but more
importantly it has saved a tube on a number of occasions when I have
been rotating a large bit of stock and forgot that it was longer than
the height of the lights!
