I've seen flourescent lights that consist of nothing more than a tube, with the ballast in line with the flourescent tube and hidden wiring to the other end of the flourescent tube. The mains wire enters at the ballast end.
What are these called. I've googled for "single ended flourescent", "self contained flourescent fitting" and "tubular flourescent fitting". I've tried "luminaire" instead of "fitting"
Does anyone know a better name to search for or a retail source?
