[TR] LED tube florescent light replacements

[Rye Livingston]

Hi Roy,

I bought some of the LED bulbs at Costco that are designed to go into the traditional florescent fixtures.  My florescent bulbs haven't failed yet so I haven't swapped them out, but on the package of LED bulbs it says no modifications necessary.  I'll double check the instructions on the box but I think you're good to go.

One thing I did discover with the swap out of florescent fixtures with the LED fixtures from Costco, both with the 110 outlet so you can daisy chain them together.  With the florescent fixture, I have one close to the garage door opening, and often times I'll plug in my shop vac into that one when I'm vacuuming out my truck.  I swapped it out with an LED fixture and it did NOT like that power load when I fired up the shopvac and blew out the fixture.  No reset button so it was Done.  DOA.  Costco swapped it out, but put the florescent fixture back in that spot.

I have regular florescent tube  lights in my garage and want to replace the tubes with LED equivalents. ( I don't want to replace the fixtures) Is there anything I need to look out for. I think mine have ballasts in each.
