You wire it straight to mains.   there are also some that work with an
existing ballast; they won't be as efficient, but they're certainly
easier.

None of the ones I've seen have had an output anywhere close to a good
t8 fluorescent bulb, including the ones that claimed to.  That's
measured, with a good light meter, not subjective.  They're getting
better, and will get there eventually, but they're not there yet.
