So right now, what im asking for is not for growing, just a workshop. I want to find a fixture that will hold 2 4ft t5 tubes. Ill be getting two of them. The tubes will be 28 watts each.

I'm finding it really hard to find a fixture for 2 bulbs. Can anyone help me out?

Yes, they will be for lights above a work bench. And yes, it will be car parts, you couldn't have guessed closer.
