Hi David,
Yes, but how are they in a cold environment...?
Some years ago I went to considerable expense installing a bank of
ceiling-mounted tubular fluorescent lamps in my garage --- after just one
winter I took them all down again, gave them away, & replaced them with
incandescent bulbs.
Our cold Canadian winter here just flat-out would NOT permit the
fluorescents to fire up!
