I've been told, but cannot verify, that 8' tubes last longer than 4' tubes.

The "industry standard" for professional film/video fluorescent applications is a company called Kino Flo, check them out for more information on lighting blue/green screen. Very expensive!

Or call your favorite local TV Weatherperson and ask him/her for a tour of the set. Once there, see how they do it!

Thanks! I'm gonna see if someone will take me to lowe's now....
