I was *gonna* post all over this thread
but then I saw the highlighted part of the above
I have dozens of tubes (mostly 8-footers) and nine (three rows of three) high-wattage incandescents. Switched on numerous separate circuits so I can adjust them to my liking (6 switches for fluorescents, three for incandescents).
I will say that I have *zero* maintenance issues with the fluorescents, and they've been in use since 2000. Yeah, they make a bit of noise at first when it's chilly, but nothing that bugs me (and I'm told I have a low tolerance for irritating stuff
).
