This may not help you with your long tube light fixtures, but I found a new lighting product from GE that reall works in cold unheated buildings.
GE sells a "HYBRID" light bulb that combines both a spiral CFL light with an incandescent halogen bulb inside the CFL spiral.
It fixes the problem of CFL's slow starting and dim light when first turnrd on in very cold weather.
How it works is that when you first flip on the lights, the Halogen light comes on bright instantly. The halogen cartridge generates a lot of heat, so it not only gives you instant bright light, but also heats the CFL to full bright operation temp in under a minute, where the halogen light turns off and you run on the warm bright CFL. The best of both worlds, instant bright light and a CFL's lower wattage and long life after 1 minute. I have had them in my unheated tool room for 1-1/2 years now and love them.
Walmart has them, they are the GE energy smart series and have a small gold oval logo with the words "GE Hybrid technology" written across the gold oval.
Choose carefully, GE sells several types of energy smart bulbs, but only the ones with the gold oval "GE hybrid technology" emblem are the low temp Halogen / CFL hydrids.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
