HTG Supply sells dual 55W PLL fixtures with lamps and ballasts included, for $70 + shipping.Where's a good spot to get pl-l lamps & fixtures? Been looking for a few months @ "your favorite home store" with no luck.
Anyone started having interference? Read a thread earlier about someone having it.

Why am I finding Germicidal lamps when searching for pl-l lighting? And what the f*** are they? Anyone . . . .Anyone . . . .Bueller?
Fluorescent lighting with properly working, properly shielded ballasts should not create interference. There may be a tiny field around the ballast, but nothing that would intefere on an RF level at any distance from the unit. I would check your wiring, particularly the ballast's earth. Failing that, the ballast itself... is it an electronic (HF) ballast or an old choke type ballast? have heard mags hum, create slight interference, etc when they are on the way out.
Keep cables as short as possible, and pay attention to routing. A long cable not only increases power line common-impedance coupling (for unbalanced cables), but it also makes the cable a better antenna. Routing cables close to such ground planes as metal racks or concrete floors will reduce antenna effects. Never coil excess cable length.
Question that requires more mental capacity than I have at the moment...
Got a bunch of 18w PLLs floating around the house; but no functional ballasts for them... However I do recall having a couple 18w t5 and t8 ballasts floating around - wondering if there's a snowballs chance in hell that those ballasts would be able to fire the PLLs?
Anyone tried similar?
