Day-Brite IS232 Industrial Strip Light - Exterior, With Lamps

This is a 2010 Day-Brite IS series industrial-grade fluorescent strip light that I ordered on eBay, which I converted from F32T8 to F40T12. At the same time, I ordered a 1979 Universal Therm-O-Matic X 446-LR-TC-P rapid-start magnetic ballast, which I swapped in place of the original F32T8 instant-start electronic ballast. The conversion went very well, I could not be more pleased. I will be installing this fixture in the garage sooner or later. I look forward to seeing what the finished product looks like!

Here is the outside of the fixture, with lamps installed (two GE Watt-Misers). Unfortunately, there is a defect with this fixture where the sockets can side around in their slots, so much so that lamps can fall out. It should be an easy fix with some screws, in fact, the sockets I used came with some! This 2010 fixture's original junky shunted sockets had weird clips that kept them in place, but according to someone on YouTube, this has been a defect with these fixtures since the 70s.
