[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16708564, member: 168598"] Replaced all the fluorescent T8 tubes in my shop with LED, ALL 72 OF THEM!!! :oops: Went with Eiko T8 direct-wire replacements to get rid of the ballasts. Single-ended power, 18w, 4000k, 2200 lumens. Single-ended power simplifies the wiring a bit. My fixtures are 8ft long so I just replaced the middle 4 tombstones with non-shunted new ones and daisy chained them together. Then the 2 leads connect up to the original wiring in the fixtures. The other 4 tombstones in each fixture were left alone, just with the wiring cut off.
