CorvAircraft> 277V fluorescent light fixtures

[Michael Quinn]

I (from experience) would think about dumpster diving at a renovation of 
store or school or office and pick up others.  You are looking at 25-50 
bucks per unit and I have had great luck (better than 80 percent work 
fine) with the ones that I pull from renovations.  As you found out - 
the ballast cost the most - the ends may be different (wrong for 110v) 
bulbs also.

Good luck!  I put almost 50% coverage of lighting on my shop and love 
it.  Cannot ever have too much light!
