I understand I can go to my local hardware store and pick up (probably cheap) some fluorescent lights, or even a lighting store and find a wider selection, but ideally I'd like to discover the most efficient version. How would you proceed? <br>
<br>My assumption is that a single 8' light (~32W) will give me the most amount of usable light spread over the largest area. Is that a fair assumption? Do single tube 8' fixtures exist? The two-tube approach, while more common, to me seems like a great way to burn up twice the electricity. Thoughts?<br>
