A quick glance doesn't show how they're mounted; anyone know? Seems like
you'd still want a fixture to reflect light.

If I were doing this, I would pretty much just throw away the
existing stuff and put up these:<br>

I have a shop that was built around 7 years ago and stuff like
this wasn't available at this cost, so I went with 4 tube
fluorescent fixtures. They've been "fine", but when I redid our
daily driver parking garage last year I used the Barrina
lights. Super easy, nice bright light, and pretty cheap.Â
Absolutely no question that's what I'd do if I were redoing the
shop / what I will do when the time comes when the existing
fluorescents die.<br>
<br>
YMMV.<br>

If you want the least (initial) hassle, and have 'fresh'
ballasts--they all fail, eventually--you can plug and play
the 'A+B' type with a ballast then, when the ballast fails
you can bypass it, which requires some rewiring (apparently,
you can leave the dead ballast in place). <br>
