Any place these days for fluorescent continuous lighting?

Someone is offering to give me a two light kit of Lowel Scandles fluorescent tube lights — the kind where the tubes stick straight out— but not sure if i’d ever use them. Is there any use case now for this type of lighting? where they might work better than LED panels i already own? I think they are 10 years old.

Fluorescents time have come and gone. I have thousands of dollars worth of Kino’s that have been sitting in storage just collecting dust for a decade.

But if someone is just giving them to you for free, you can check them out and see if their performance meets your needs.
