Do you mean just to be able to see, or do you mean supplementary light to assist growth?

Good point.
Meant light to see - previously had a outdoor switch fitted (inside greenhouse), and two 5ft flourscent tubes (in outdoor housings with clip covers)
Problem is that the tube housings have decintergrated (I assume caused by the sun & heat) - and I am unable to find replacement covers, so was thinking about rewiring.
Any suggestions?
There are fully waterproof fluorescent fittings available - or were - for just this use. But they're pretty expensive, and the enclosure cuts down the light somewhat. Might be cheaper just to replace standard fittings once in a while - they're pretty cheap these days.

Screwfix have IP65 Fluorescent fittings:
The current paper catalogue also has a twin tube fitting as well.
Alternatively what about a few external bulkhead fittings?
