re: "They say this is a direct replacement"
/Probably/ not. NOTE: "Ballast Required!"Â I re-wired some old-school
fluorescent fixtures for LED 'tubes,' and had to replace the old
ballasts (purchased from Lowe's @ about $20ea). I hate ballasts, I hope
the solid state ones last longer than the analog. Sometimes, it's
cheaper to buy a whole new fixture, with ballast, than buy a ballast and
install it (if you count your time as a cost).
TL;DR: I don't think analog ballasts work with LEDs, but I've not tried it.
