I bought a 4 foot fluorescent for my shop which plugs into a wall recepticle, however it is not enough light. Can I wire two of the same fixtures together and then plug them into the one wall recepticle? Patt
Buy a multi outlet adaptor at the dollar store and plug two in. No, you can't wire two together unless you follow the Code and it's too much work.
Good advice.
Don't screw with 'code'.

Neat way would be to change it for a twin tube type?
In general, single tube types just give general illumination. For workbenches, etc, use twin tube types.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.
This is a good answer, Load it up to 15 amps, but check your local codes to.
I bet this is one of those $15 packaged units with a solid state ballast. Given that the question was asked the answer I gave is safest.
Or worse, the ultra-cheap magnetic ballasts that run 40W lamps at a bit under 25W, go figure they're dim.
