Well --- I'd have to recommend AGAINST fixtures from Home Depot or Lowes....
I started out with them and then when I was still wiring my dump up I picked up a couple from my commercial wiring shop and OMG what a difference!! The gauge of metal was far superior - the weight - the connector ends that grab the bulbs... the SIZE of the ballast was double!
From then on I switched to this superior brand. Guess which fixtures where the first to have bad ballasts.... Yep - the el cheapos!
But I also understand people are on budgets - and the good fixtures were way more expensive than the cheapo versions. It was just one of those things that I figured -- over the long run -- I only want to put them up and wiring them ONCE....
