Stop in for a cup of coffee

I replaced a bunch of 8 ft fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs today (had to bypass the ballast on each fixture). They look really cool and light up the area tons better than before. Now to see if they last as long as they're claimed to..
Ben... I just did the same, in my shop, a couple a months ago. Pull all the ballasts out and direct wired 20 , 4 bulb units. Bought 80... YES 80 bulbs to do the job. But.... Its great now.. plenty of light in the shop. and I can turn off a row of lights as needed.
