I bought LED tubes from Lowe=E2=80=99s to replace a couple of 4=E2=80=99 flu=
orescent lights in an old fixture in my cottage. I was skeptical and assumed=
I=E2=80=99d be taking them back and buying a new LED fixture but I put them=
in and they worked great. These even had a switch on the end to choose the c=
olor temperature.
No idea if that means Eric will have the same experience with these.

<i>Probably</i> not. NOTE: "Ballast Required!" I re-wired some
old-school fluorescent fixtures for LED 'tubes,' and had to replace
the old ballasts (purchased from Lowe's @ about $20ea). I hate
ballasts, I hope the solid state ones last longer than the analog.
Sometimes, it's cheaper to buy a whole new fixture, with ballast,
than buy a ballast and install it (if you count your time as a
cost).<br>

tried it.<br>
