Check Lowes. They have a 4 foot long, two bulb T12 fixture for about $10 each. Then look over in the florescent bulbs and you will find a box of 10 four foot bulbs with a rating of 6400K for about $20. The fixtures have plug-in cords and on/off switches. They also have plugs which allows you to power the second and so-on fixtures while only consuming one plug in your wall receptacle or extension cord.

I run 5 four footers, 3 three footers, and 6 screw-in CFL's on one power strip and am only consuming about 300 watts. Each grouping of lights can be used independent of all the others.

Don'tcha just love it????
