I have a mix of older two blub T-12 and newer T-8 fixtures in my 12x20 garage shop. A few of the older T-12's are needing ballast replacements. Rather than purchasing new T-8 fixtures (or new T-12 ballasts) to replace/fix the T-12's; I am considering keeping the old T-12 fixtures and just upgrading the blubs to the new LED tubes, which I understand are pretty easy to convert the fixture by removing the ballast during the re-wiring process. Most all my current lights are using the 6500 natural daylight blubs.
Has anyone gone this route? Are you happy with the LED light color and brightness compared to the old fluorescents. I'm OK with the higher upfront cost of the LEDs. Any brands you'd recommend?
