Since I was already 'LED curious,' I did a bit of research:<br>
<br>
- there are some LED tubes that require a ballast* ('Type A')<br>
- there are some LED tubes that require bypassing of the ballast
('Type B')<br>
- there are some LED tubes that work with ballast or
without/bypassing, with some rewiring* ('Type A+B')<br>
<br>
<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>
<br>
<br>
* Need to check compatibility between tube and ballast.<br>
