I have 40-50 florescent light fixtures in my shop. It seems that wherever I want to work, the ballast or bulb in that area is bad and I have to muck around with it or work in the dark. Ballasts are expensive and the covers are a pain to get off. Plus I have to shut off the power to the rest of the lights and change it in the dark with a plug in light, I'm DONE I tell you! DONE!
Moving forward, I'm going to remove the fixture and wire up a couple porcelain screw in fixtures. These accept the 100W equivalent twisty bulbs that just screw in and can be changed with a light pole without even getting a stepstool. Ballasts and tubes are expensive and the twisty bulbs are actually considerably cheaper and put out ALMOST as much light.
