Default Ideas for exterior shop lights.

I currently have 8ft fluorescent twin light fixtures. When the humidity is high or the temp is low they will not work, so I am looking for something that is good for low temp. and high humidity. I would like to stay with fluorescent. Any suggestions?

They make "wet location" fluorescent fixtures to keep out humidity, etc. Found these in my Grainger catalog, but I bet you can get them cheaper at Lowes/online.

Thanks, but I've already bought some at Home Depot. I actually bought the tandem T8 fluorescent fixture. Its 8 feet long and uses (4) 4ft 32 watt bulbs. It has an electronic ballast so the humidity and cold doesn't bother it. I think I paid around $43 for them. They work great.
