I would personally go to LED if I was going to change the fixture. T-8's are dang near obsolete now.

I think that tube led replacements are not too far off in affordability and operation.
A few years?
For now, I am not impressed by the cost and lighting choices. High and None.
Remember the fabulous CFL's? High dollar LED bulbs which were unlikable?

Regular LED bulbs are now getting affordable and come in some nice, pleasant light.
The tubes will be better in a few years. Until then, I am buying hi-dollar ballasts and old school bulbs and staying the course.

I can see no benefit to 'upgrading' to last years fad. Just me..

Just did a Fluorescent light count. 36 in all. 8 and 4-footers.
One thing I cannot stand is a light which does not work.
Ballasts are getting hard to find, for me.
