Just had a weather alert for Saturday, it's still a maybe.
I guess it's time for new lights in the garage, the 2 older sets 
never did come on and the floor was damp and cold all day. From my 
time in Minnesota I knew that florescent lights don't work well in 
the really cold but with the new ones working and the old not.
Right now I have one set with the older larger (diameter) tubes 
(can't read the numbers) and set with smaller T-12 tubes. The T-12 
tubes 'might' be brighter, hard to tell as they are in use over the 
bench rather than the floor. I have to decide on what type of shop 
light to get. Does anyone know if one is better than the other?
