Are the fixtures you have returnable?

Yes, I can return them....and I plan on doing so. But, my house is
torn apart and what do I use in the meantime?

You can flush mount some designs of 4' fixtures.

4 foot fixtures is what I just got done ripping out, although they
weren't flush mounted. The 4 foot tubes run 34 to 40 watts per tube,
and they have alot more surface area than a compact florescent. I can
stare at them without problems because they aren't as intense. But,
they don't fit well in the room. If I could get smaller tubes (say 15
to 18 inch long) and mount 4 in each room, I'd probably be happy.

We are using flush mount 4 foot tubes in the kitchen and dining rooms,
but had hoped for something a bit smaller and lower power in the open
area of the house.

Based on this experience, I can safely say the lighting industry has a
long way to go with their designs. Unfortunately, I need something
that's usable NOW, not 5 or 10 years from now.

Thanks,

Art
