How many watts to run double fluro light?
It depends on the type of double fluorescent fixture and the tubes you use in it. If you use regular T-12 tubes, you would use 80 watts plus whatever losses you get from the ballast (up to 20 watts). If you use energy saver T-12 tubes, you would use 68 watts plus the losses from the ballast. If you use a T-8 fixture, you would use 64 watts plus whatever losses from the electronic ballast which are next to nothing in comparison to a magnetic T-12 ballast.
Where would one be able to purchase a ceiling light fixture?
The "go to stores" for ceiling light fixtures would be Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Kmart, or Sears. To buy ceiling light fixture via online, try visiting the online websites for the stores; Bellacor, Home Decorators, Lumen's, or Lighting Direct.
Can US 110 ceiling light fixture be hard wired to 240 France?
No, a US 110 ceiling light fixture cannot be hardwired directly to a 240V electrical system in France. The difference in voltage will likely damage the fixture and pose a safety hazard. You would need to either use a transformer to step down the voltage or purchase a light fixture that is compatible with the 240V system in France.
Can a two tube fluorescent fixture be wired to have only one tube?
Yes, a two-tube fluorescent fixture can be wired to have only one tube. You would need to disconnect the ballast and sockets for the tube you are removing, and then rewire the remaining tube to the power source. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult an electrician if needed.
How many fluorescent tubes equal 1000 watt metal halide light?

What changes are to be made for a fluorescent lamp circuit to work if ac supply is replaced by dc?
A fluorescent light fixture is designed to operate on an AC voltage supply. To have the fixture operate off of a DC supply a power inverter would have to be installed. The power inverter would then change the DC to AC for the fixture to operate. These power inverters are reasonably priced these days and can be bought at most DIY stores.

Is there a code for fluorescent light fixture covers?
I do not know of a specific code in the United States. However, a flourescent fixture should be covered if breaking a bulb would create serious problems, such as in a kitchen, a place where children play, etc. In lieu of covering the whole fixture they manufacture tubes that cover the bulbs themselves for the same purpose.

Where can a circuit with two lamps with single pole switch fluorescent lamp with two 2 way and an intermediate control can be used?
This type of circuit would never be used. The two way fluorescent system would depend on the voltage being supplied by the two lamp circuit switch. If the switch turns off the two lamp circuit the rest of the circuit with the fluorescent fixture would become inoperable.
Can plants grow under fluorescent office light?
Yes, plants can grow under fluorescent office light, but they may not thrive as well as they would under natural sunlight or specialized grow lights. Fluorescent lights provide some of the necessary light spectrum for plant growth, but they may not be as intense or balanced as natural light.
What is easier to install an incandescent light bulb or a fluorescent light bulb?
It depends. If you have a compact fluorescent bulb, it is about the same difficulty level as installing an incandescent bulb. If however you are installing a 4 foot long fluorescent tube, it may be considered a bit more difficult because there are 2 pins on each end of the tube that have to line up on each end of the light fixture, thus it would require a bit more effort and coordination. Once you line the end pins up, you push the tube into the slot until it is fully seated, then you give it a quarter turn to lock it in place.
