I choppped up one of  those crappy T5 28 watt lithonia fixture   Down to fit 2x 4 watt tubes.   I orginally wanted light two   Tubes with one starter and 1 choke.  That did not work out very  Well.   So i had to use two chokes and mount starter socket exterally to the  end plate.   And there  2 x 4 watt strip light was   Made.

I made a “radial wave” with a yogurt cup with socket for the “head” and a aluminum pie tin for the shade. The “arm” was a curved PVC conduit glued to the “head” with a hole for the cord to pass into the cup.
