The best lighting I've EVER used is the compact flourescent lighting
from AH Supply, http://www.ahsupply.com. Good color rendition, and
because they are CF's, they use about 1/3 less energy than your
typical T-12 style flourescent. I think, but I'm not certain, that
they are even more energy efficient than the T-8's (anybody?).

The bulbs last forever too. The ones I have are about 4 years old and
still going strong.

Its fluorescent.

Hi Lilly,

I have the AHSupply kit too ( 4x36). Although the bulbs may still be working
four years later, I don't believe they have the same light output. Since the
output decreased gradually, you probably did not notice. I believe the
recommendation is to change your bulbs about once a year.
