Most blacklights are 4' and these are generally available, if you're in Perth I can give you some fittings and sell you some tubes, if you're anywhere else Jaycar sell a low cost tube, not as good as the name brands but fine for general use, a higher power unit is a 400w unit, costing around$100 which fits into any 400w mercury vapour fitting.Fluoro tubes switch on quickly while the 400w units take some time to build up.
