I get a little hum frm one light... no RFI I can tell.. the radio plays just fine Good luck with your build... I think over all the CFL is a inexpensive solution... to the multi tube expensive T8/T5 ripoff lights

Personally I think they will do fine.... based on my 17' ceilings here is a less expensive bulb http://www.1000bulbs.com/150-to-200-Watt-Compact-Fluorscent/34614/

:thumbup::beer::rocker::+1: LOL.... glad ya like the out come..... I am still marveled at the quality of light from these high watt units...@ a fraction of the cost of comparable light out put solutions

CFL's like any florescent light is color rated.. be sure to get a 5000 kelvin or higher.... below that it will throw a decisive yellow cast
