I don=E2=80=99t know if this heresy, but I=E2=80=99ve been =
replacing my florescent units with HF 5000 luman LEDs as they go bad. =
The single tube, $19.95 (on sale), are amazingly bright, nice color =

HF unit will replace a 2 bulb florescent unit, and HF sells a two tube =
unit for a few dollars more.
Best,

Bob, it=E2=80=99s not that LEDs need a special ballast, they =

need any ballast, but that some of them will work with a
