So I got my 4 bulb fixture a few days ago, but the retailer forgot to include the lights and electrical cord. They shipped them out to me free of charge and they got here today. So I popped them in, wired it up, and hung the fixture from my new rack.
I ALSO got a DSLR camera a week ago, so I decided to take some comparison pictures.
These 2 side shots were taken in manual mode at f5.6 1/80s first is the t12 fixture.
These perspective shots show the effect on my whole room (which is a mess) at f4.0 1/80s
And finally, shooting the lights directly in aperture priority mode, (so the camera adjusts for shutter speed) both at f8.0
1/100......................................1/800
Suffice to say, these new lights bathe my room in a white glow. I'm thinking about getting some mylar, attaching it to black cloth and creating curtains (black on the outside, shiny inside) for this thing, so I can have a little darkness later in the day.

That's the one i picked up. The 95% reflector really makes a difference.
