Why dim? IME nearly all commercial & school fluorescent installs are heavily overpowered.

Why? The need to dim lights in a domestic setting easy to understand. But
even then why make them more powerful than ever needed?

Very handy to have much brighter than normal lights when working on
fiddly objects. I'd love to have multiple fluorescent lights in the
living room (best place to fix things in comfort) - but only if they
could be completely hidden when normal lighting was in use.
