Be careful about used fluorescent fixtures -- some of them run at weird voltages in commercial settings. I saw a Sears store being remodeled many years ago, the crew was filling up a 30yd dumpster with 4-bulb ceiling fixtures, so I stopped and asked if I could have some for my basement/garage/etc.. Guy says sure but they run at 140V (or something like that, I forget -- it was odd) and won't work in your house. But I did scavenge a bunch of the "sunlight" bulbs that were very pricey, and I think I am still using some in my shop lights now -- they make a very nice natural, easy-on-the-eyes light when mixed with the std blue ones. I never did figure out the voltage thing, how or why they have that in stores.
