<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Honestly, unless you think you'll fall
back to using fluorescent tubes in the future, I'd remove those
ballasts and just use LED tubes designed to be powered directly
from 120V line. There's no need for a fluorescent ballast so it's
just wasting electricity. <br>
<br>
The downside is you'll need to remove your ballasts and rewire
your fixtures. The tubes will have instructions for how to rewire
your fixtures. Do make sure you put a clear warning label inside
the fixture if you do this so that someone doesn't unwittingly try
to plug in a fluorescent tube later.<br>

<div>I’ve changed all my 4’ t-8 fluorescent bulbs with LED
