[RFI] RFI via Florescent Lights

[N2TK, Tony]

Checked this morning at my local HD. They said they will dispose of the 40
4' tubes. But I couldn't convince them to take the 20 fixtures.

Not here. They no longer dispose of the fluorescent tubes, nor can I find
any local place that does.  I was stuck with a bunch of them  last year.

40W tube fluorescent fixtures. And no problem putting out bright light in my
garage in cold winter where the standard fluorescent fixtures were very dim.
