Im looking for 8 ft outdoor fluorescent fixtures to be used for a barn lighting, any suggestions in what brand to use ? use 4 ft lamps or 8 ft? I don't see too many online and my supplier doesn't have them

Get a different supplier. Vaportight fluorescent fixtures are not that uncommon. I could understand them not having any in stock but they should be able to get what you want. Not sure what is available in 8 foot lengths, and may be best to go with something that uses 4 foot lamps even if available in an 8 foot unit.

They will likely cost enough that you may want to consider LED luminaires of some sort though.
