-> One thing about lighting: don't waste your money on those four-foot
-> twin-tube specials always on sale at Menards, etc. They're cheap, but
-> you get what you pay for, which ain't much. Very little light and
-> it's blue to boot. Go for the eight foot 75 or 90 watt commercial
-> lights. More expensive, but worth it.

 That's what I thought, but I was wrong.  Want to trade some cheap 4'
fixtures for my 8' fixtures?

 The major reason I went for the 8' was the nice snap-in bulb
replacement, as opposed to fiddling with the weird little wires on the
4' bulbs.  In practice it didn't matter; the 8' bulbs only last a few
weeks, then the ballasts die.  And replacement ballasts cost more than
the whole fixture did!
