Glenn, I went to home depot and bought 3 more 8' floresent fixtures. Buy
moving some of the 8 fixtures I had already and adding these 3 I think

have not used for working on cars before I think thats why it seemed to
be too dark. Funny how the older I get the more light I need to see
things. Doug Odom in big ditch where it's raining.
