Trouble/Shop Light Suggestions...

I need a new shop light; my old single-tube, 18" fluorescent died last year, and I bought a twin-style compact model and it only lasted a few months...it looked like this one:




Now back on the hunt Looking for a *good* quality one, maybe pro-grade?

Wondering about LED types...lots of styles out there, which are REALLY bright and durable?

Another fluorescent would be fine, but the twin-style (13w x 2) was much weaker than my old 18" single tube. What's a GOOD one to consider?

Just a simple 120V model is fine. Spare AC outlet built-in would be welcome, but not necessary. Don't want incandescent or battery type.

i've been using the cheap ($29) 12" 110v craftsman florescent for about a year, seems pretty durable....i haven't ran it over yet though......
this light replaced the snap-on light i used for 12 years.....still have it, it needs a new transformer
