Chuck, I stongly advise getting "commercial grade" flourescents, as they last longer without that darned "hum". Once the ballast starts to go, the "hum" begins. There cheapy type "shop lights" available that are not even worth what they sell for. DAMHIK! It is possible to get full spectrum tubes, but they are VERY expensive. I chose to use regular tubes and supplement with a couple of halogens at either end of the shop. This really puts the color spectrum back where it should be and reduces the stress that regular flourescent lights cause.
