Hi, Reuben--

Have you looked at Lighting.com? It's a pretty good resource.

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?
