OK, so it is kitchen lighting but it is where I make my sandwiches that I eat
in the SHOP!
I have a 2 x2 surface mount fixture with 2 T12 bent tube fluorescents. Works
fine but occasionally you have to flip the switch multiple times to get it on.
I thought probably a bad switch but it is on a dual switch and it is
intermittent on both�. Two bad switches or maybe a ballast going bad?
I was semi surprised to find that the bulbs are still available for $10 each.
An electronic ballast isn?t much more so I can completely replace the guts for
$30. Before I do, should I upgrade to T8, T5 or even LED? I could easily fit
an 18 inch round or square led panel into the existing fixture.
Any thoughts?
