electronic ballasts in my shop fluorescent lights . I've been limping along ... Today I received via the USPS a box containing 10 four foot LED tubes ... six of which are now installed in my fixtures and lighting my shop . Simple changes to the fixtures , hot lead to one end and neutral to the other (both pins) and bang we got light ! A lot brighter and a different color/temperature but that I can get used to . I got the clear tubes , upon reflection I might have gone diffused ... a piece of scotch tape will test that . Bottom line is for under 5 bucks a tube , they don't cost that much more than a fluorescent tube and they'll save me some bucks down the road in lower energy bills . And I used the fixtures I already had .
