Bob, it=E2=80=99s not that LEDs need a special ballast, they usually don=E2=80=
=99t need any ballast, but that some of them will work with a fluorescent ba=
llast & some not. The ones I use take 120-270v directly to the lamp.=20

I'm still confused on 'ballast required.' Anyone know for sure if LEDs take a=
 special ballast?
