Has anyone here ever found a good, inexpensive (yeah, at times those terms are mutually exclusive, I know) shop lights that don't burn out the ballasts after a year or so? I have a pair of dual tube shop lights in there already but it just doesn't seem bright enough for these old eyes.

Recently I've been rethinking my lighting design and am now thinking of some inexpensive can lights filled with 100W equivalent CFL spots (up to six @ 23W is still cheaper than two 100W incandescent bulbs).

Has anyone else gone to this type of lighting and, if so, how did it work for you?
