incadescents are horribly less efficicient than flourescents - for 160
watts
(two 8 ft tubes) you get a lot more light than a box full of 60 watt
incadescents and a lot less heat too - you probably want both, the
incadescent for spot lighting and directional lighting of your work when
you
need it, and the fluorescents for general shop lighting. I know I use
both...

Guess I should have mentioned that I have several fluorescent fixtures
overhead in the shop, one immediately above the lathe. The incandescents
simply brighten and add definition to the workpiece when turning.
