I got my bulbs (F8T5BL) from

   http://www.topbulb.com/

They also had some fixtures on clearance a couple of months ago that 
fit them.  An F4T5BL (4-watt) is also an option, but the bulb is 
shorter so different fixture is required.  The light given off by the 
"BL"-type light has a light purple color, which is a mixture between 
the green (strong) and purple (weaker) lines.

The bulbs are easy to find, but fixtures that they will fit in are 
somewhat tougher to locate.  Mine are undercabinet lights with metal 
cases.

Any black light (size, shape and wattage of your choice) with the two 
letter suffix "BL" should work for a green source.  Do NOT get a bulb 
with BLB in its designation.

Again, I have been told that bug lights (the kind with the light 
purplish glow) will work, and grow light might work too.

I have updated the end of my interference tester page (accessible from 
my home page, under "Interference test setup") to describe the new bulbs.
