Is it OK to daisy-chain fluorescent lights - that is, have
one switch, and continue the cable from the first fitting
to subsequent ones?

sure. only thing to watch is you dont run the cable past the choke, or
it'll melt and short.


There will be four, 2x5' slim tube ones, 1x4' slim tube one, and
an ancient "fast start" one with a fat 4' tube

I hope its a double garage, thats well OTT for a standard 1 car job.
Fls are about 4x as efficient as filaments, so a 4' tube is roughly
equiv to a 150w bulb, a 5' roughly to 250w. So youve got the equivalent
of 800w! kinell. Why do people go so nuts with fl lighting levels?
