Can I daisy-chain fluorescent tubes?

[anonymous-user]

I'd like to add some extra lighting to my garage, which currently has a single 4ft tube in the centre with 2 switches, one at either end of the garage.

I was thinking perhaps of adding 3 or 4 more tubes, for example the item below:

Can I just run cabling from the centre light out both sides to further lights, linking them in series, or do I need a central junction box / parallel wiring / something else?

Also, what sort of cabling should I use? The existing light has a single thick grey cable fixed onto the wooden roof beams.

In to one, out again, in to another, out again. So the L, N, E has a cable going into and also a cable going out from the same connections.

If you're lighting a workshop with fluorescents be wary of stroboscopic effect, twin tube fittings using a capacitor to run one tube out of phase eliminate this.
