I hear that!  I had to go through three of those junky $9.99, 2 x 48"
shoplights before I finally got smart and bought one of those dual
8-foot tube jobbies.  It's been working in my garage for over a year
now, while those $9.99 things only lasted a couple of months.  One of
them kept going through tubes, so I bought another.  On that one, one
of the tubes wouldn't work at all (or was very dim).  I'm very happy
with my $25 8-foot set.  It does "flash" when cold however.  But it
warms up and stops the flashing in a few minutes.
