If you are in or near a city, see if they have a habitat restore store. They get all kinds of working fixtures that remodelers remove, saving them from going to landfill, and sells them for really cheap - most of the labor at the stores in volunteers.
Florescent fixtures with LED bulbs are the most MMM-buy-it-for-life and cheap to operate. And LEDs aren't affected by cold like some florescents are.
As a licensed electrician since the eighties, and a long term HFH volunteer, including Restore duty, this is one thing that makes my toes curl. Many stores are very guilty of collecting old useless electrical shit, and attempt to resell it. I'm not talking about decorative, or antique fixtures that could be really cool, but old outdated florescents that are nothing but hazardous waste. I can't count how many obsolete T-8 fixtures with giant ten pound, possibly PCB laden, ancient ballasts I have seen on the shelf at Restores and other non-profit thrift shops.
I know of no other product that, when removed on big commercial electrical renovations, there is often a requirement to recycle and dispose of correctly. With bulbs, ballasts, scrap wire and scrap metal all ending up in different waste streams. Yet, I have repeatedly disappointed friends and neighbors who are shocked when I won't help then reuse inefficient, unreliable and possibly toxic scrap fixtures that they drug home for the garage or attic. Even if it's free, if the ballast quits on you, a new one runs $15, and if you thought that the eight foot long fixtures/lamps would be even better, well those replacement lamps are going to run you $10 each, and good luck getting them home in one piece. Trust me, the best thing you can do, to avoid nothing but headaches, is to walk right past 95% of all used fluorescent fixtures you see. The same can be said of used electrical panels, recessed lighting, switches, outlets, etc.....
As for the magic of the LED strip light, I'm not convinced. Going on a strictly installed cost per lumen approach, a lampholder with a CFL is about half the cost. Now you can get into the fact a strip will put out 2-1/2X the lumen output for 1-1/2 times the energy use, or that they allegedly last 50K hours of use. But there are a few issues here. First a larger number of lower lumen fixtures will always provide a higher quality job, with less shadows and more usable light when you need it. Second, there are no guarantees that, if you spent $8-10 for an LED strip lamp, it will last any longer than any other lamp. It may last for decades of use, or not. There is no hour meter on the thing, no guarantee, just a claim to last "up to X # of hours of use". Finally, as old school potted ballasted went away, cold performance of florescent fixtures got exponentially better. I have watched my garage full of CFLs provided usable light immediately, and go to full brightness quickly, in below zero temps.
