Need to add some lighting. T8 or T12? Probably going with 2-tube 4
footers.

The mainest thing is the ballast. I had T12's with the old style
ballasts and they would fart around and blink and give poor light in the
winter. Changed them to T8 with electronic ballast. They pop right on,
even on cold mornings and including the one in the outside shed.



My T8 with electronic ballasts do come on instantly but in cold weather
they are dim until warmed up.
