There's been a few discussions about lighting here, with some good links, but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for yet. I'm a Nature Photographer, and display using 2 x 6 ft. gridwall, either outside in a Caravan tent, or inside. What I'm looking for is a good source for swing-arm lights that can be easily attached to gridwall. For attachment, I'd prefer to find lights that dropped into tubes, like those found on other panel wall systems.
I know there are several sources for the type of swing-arm lights that use single screw in bulbs. I'd really like to find something similar that uses 6 or 9 inch flourescent tubes. The reason is that I want to spread the lighting out evenly along my walls, instead of focusing it on one picture. Also, I'm planning on powering the whole setup with a power pack, so low wattage is a concern.
Thanks for any links or suggestions that you may have! I know this group has seen and done it all.

I should have mentioned this in my request, but I know I've seen exactly what I'm looking for. I also saw someone using a nice set of battery powered lights at the VA Beach Boardwalk show. He'd modified the original mount to work with his panels.
Originally, I was going to suspend a strip of lights, probably flourescent, from the cross braces in my tent's ceiling. That wouldn't work when I'm inside, and I've since started using a ceiling tarp.
