I bought LED tubes from Lowe=E2=80=99s to replace a couple of 4=E2=80=99 flu=
orescent lights in an old fixture in my cottage. I was skeptical and assumed=
 I=E2=80=99d be taking them back and buying a new LED fixture but I put them=
 in and they worked great. These even had a switch on the end to choose the c=
olor temperature.

No idea if that means Eric will have the same experience with these.

Wait a minute--where'd you get those bulbs?

I was literally about to send an email to the list about the failing

replace the whole fixture.

I've long since tossed the receipt and burned the box but I'm pretty sure
these are them:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-Color-Correct-Technology-32-Watt-EQ-48-in-Dayli=
ght-Linear-LED-Tube-Light-Bulb-2-Pack/5000197453

The laundry/utility room in my cottage has a 4' fluorescent fixture and
when I bought the place that light really struggled to come on (I'd have to
toggle the switch five or six times to get it to work). I was at Lowe's
with a buddy who was helping me with little projects around the place and I
had a new fixture on my shopping list. I was looking at a bunch and didn't
really like what they had. I told him I'd just buy something from Amazon
when he pointed these out and I decided to give them a shot. I honestly
thought I'd have to return them but it really was as easy as putting them
in and they worked.

I have a bunch of 4' fluorescent fixtures in my barn. I  bought a bunch of
4' LED fixtures and I was in the process of swapping them out but now I'm
definitely getting these bulbs where there are still existing fixtures. I
feel stupid for all the fixtures I've thrown out over the past few years!

    <i>Probably</i> not. NOTE: &quot;Ballast Required!&quot;=C2=A0 I re-wir=

    old-school fluorescent fixtures for LED &#39;tubes,&#39; and had to rep=
lace
    the old ballasts (purchased from Lowe&#39;s @ about $20ea). I hate
    ballasts, I hope the solid state ones last longer than the analog.
    Sometimes, it&#39;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).<br>
    <br>
    TL;DR: I don&#39;t think analog ballasts work with LEDs, but I&#39;ve n=
