I was buying my 24" fixture at walmart for about 12 dollars. They where t-8 and held two 24" bulbs. Here is a link to the exact model i was getting and finding at walmart.

I've currently been looking for the same thing - 24" 2 bulb t8 fixture. Home Depot and Lowe's do sell them, but they don't sell anything that can just plug in or with an on/off switch. Everything from those two stores has to be hardwired and turned on with a light switch. They're cheap, under $20, so if you're the DIY kind of person, that would probably work fine. I have absolutely no idea how to wire something like that, so I'm still looking around for something I can plug in.

Chachilla: Is the model you linked to hardwired or a plug-in?

I got a 48" fixture at my local lowes that has both a cord that you simply plug into an outlet and a on/off switch.

You're right, they do have a 48" with a cord, but no 24". I talked to the guy in electrical today, and he did show me that 48", but that was it.

The link i posted for the lamp is a plug in. You don't have to do any thing but place the bulbs inside and plug into to wall. It has a string that you pull to turn on and off.

Awesome, thanks for sharing the link. I'll hit up Walmart tomorrow and see if I can find it.

I got a single fixture at walmart for like 8 bucks. I took the plastic cover off and used some foil to direct the light. I didnt see any duel fixtures at walmart. :\

Diy has a nice 24" dual fixture with individual toggle switches to control each bulb. Comes with reflector also. Not that much more than cheap fixtures from the box stores also.
