if you get flourescents dont get the cheapest units. Get the medium priced units with cold temp ballasts and cold temp bulbs.

my garage is 25x28 and i have 11 4ft dual bulb units. I spent the money on the mid grade and they turn right on in 30degree weather. When i paint cars in the garage i pull out an additional 4 4ft units on some special stands and i didnt spend the money on them. They take a couple mins to turn on.


expect to spend 10-15 on each unit equipped with a good ballast then get a value packed light set.
