Howdy,
If I were doing this, I would pretty much just throw away the existing
stuff and put up these:
https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-8500LM-Daylight-Output-Linkable/dp/B07RKZFD5Z/ref=sr_1_2_sspa
I have a shop that was built around 7 years ago and stuff like this wasn't
available at this cost, so I went with 4 tube fluorescent fixtures.
They've been "fine", but when I redid our daily driver parking garage last
year I used the Barrina lights. Super easy, nice bright light, and pretty
cheap. Absolutely no question that's what I'd do if I were redoing the
shop / what I will do when the time comes when the existing fluorescents
die.
YMMV.
Mark

Since I was already 'LED curious,' I did a bit of research:<br>
<br>
- there are some LED tubes that require a ballast* ('Type A')<b=

- there are some LED tubes that require bypassing of the ballast
('Type B')<br>
- there are some LED tubes that work with ballast or
without/bypassing, with some rewiring* ('Type A+B')<br>
<br>
<br>
If you want the least (initial) hassle, and have 'fresh'
ballasts--they all fail, eventually--you can plug and play the 'A+B=
'
type with a ballast then, when the ballast fails you can bypass it,
which requires some rewiring (apparently, you can leave the dead
ballast in place). <br>
<br>
<br>
* Need to check compatibility between tube and ballast.<br>
