It may be that T12 and T8s are interchangeable only if you use an electronic
ballast..and not a tar, or magnetic ballast...

I'm not totally sure though.

Actually I picked up some Home-Vue shoplight fixtures from Lowes if I recall
correctly that do not work with my flora-sun T-8 bulbs. So I would recommend
doing a little research on the shoplight fixtures first. I ended up buying a
JBJ Power Compact 4x65 and haven't looked into it any farther myself...

Do the T8's work o.k. in standard aquarium hood and/or "shoplight"
fixtures?
