[Shop-talk] Shop light T8 to LED

[Ian McFetridge]

I've been gradually replacing the T8 fixtures in my shop.  The previous
owner installed 12 two tube fixtures, so I've only be putting on LED tube
in each fixture as I remove the ballasts and make the update.  I've
installed 8 so far and in each case the one LED is as bright, if not
brighter than the two old (maybe 10 years) T8 fluorescent tubes.  The brand
I have been using is below, I bought a couple last year for $23, then $21,
now I see they are down to $16.  Has anyone found a better option?

Also, does anyone know where I can properly dispose of the fluorescent
tubes?  My township will take them on hazardous waste day, but they only do
that twice a year and I was out of town for the last one.  Home Deport/
Lowes?
