What you want to do is control the phase of the power going to
the flouresants, not put them in phase. These lights strobe at 
60 hz. and can indeed make your eyes silly. If one takes the time and
wires the fixtures in staggered way at OPPOSITE phases of the AC
line; strobing and it's effects are reduced.
