A quick glance doesn't show how they're mounted; anyone know? Seems
like you'd still want a fixture to reflect light.<br>

If I were doing this, I would pretty much just throw away the
existing stuff and put up these:<br>

I have a shop that was built around 7 years ago and stuff like
this wasn't available at this cost, so I went with 4 tube
fluorescent fixtures. They've been "fine", but when I redid our
daily driver parking garage last year I used the Barrina
lights. Super easy, nice bright light, and pretty cheap.
Absolutely no question that's what I'd do if I were redoing the
shop / what I will do when the time comes when the existing
fluorescents die.<br>
<br>
YMMV.<br>

<div> 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>
