If you have any fluorescent tubes then it's best to leave them on for a bit rather than switching them on and off often. The starters use a lot of power but once they have started, they can drop down to really low power usage. A 3.6v battery will run one for 3 hours or more....
Also, you need to let them tubes warm up (about 20 mins). If they aren't allowed to warm up, you'll kill them so quickly!
I'm assuming you're on economy 7 if you have two lives? If so you'd need a separate meter for L2 which I just wouldn't bother with. Tbh I see them gauges like a MPG gauge. What difference does it make? You're using a certain amount of fuel to do what you're doing. If you don't use that fuel then you can't do that so it doesn't matter really what the readings are
