Message	I did think about it, but they're a lot more expensive than florescent lights - even low-temp florescent lights. People have told me that I won't be able to get T8 bulbs in another few years... but they said that about T10 bulbs back when I was in college and you can still buy those to this day. They may go up in price a bit, but a big box of them will last you a decade.
