I can get 2 of those fixtures for $24 a piece which is super cheap. I'm really not wanting to go 24" but if it doesn't look all that bad (ghetto wise) I'll go with 2 of those and use ATI bulbs. The more I think about it,I have a Sunblaze T5 Single bulb light at my brother n laws I can use to gauge really how long 2 24" single bulb fixtures would be. So,would a Fulham ballast that can drive 2-4 24w bulbs overdrive the 18w ones enough or too much ? Why do I know this?

UVL bulbs aren't higher wattage per se, but they can be overdriven without worry.
