Same here.  I use 48" tubes made by GE called "Sunshine - Full
Spectrum Light" from Home Depot, 5000k, 90CRI, 2250 Lumens, cost
$6.95.  There are two 2-tube fixtures in my work room which is
10'x12'.  So that's 9000 Lumens for 120 SqFt, or 75 Lumens/SqFt.  It's
been very satisfactory lighting for printing
