Check out primelights.com. I am using their 10 of their 3-tube Bolt fixtures &
lamps in my shop. $83 each. No problems whatsoever. These tubes donâ??t need
any electronics or ballast, everything is in the tube. The sheet metal is
rather thin but once itâ??s in place itâ??s fine. They come in either clear or
frosted so you can choose. I wired mine to have 3 brightness levels by turning
on one, two or all 3 lamps.
All the big box stores sell similar.

I know some of you are pretty well informed on led lighting options, so...
I have a stand alone wooden bar with a diffused lighting panel in the top.
When it was built over 30 years ago it used a 4' fluorescent bulb. It was
updated at some point to one of the plug in led tubes and it is now time to
revisit because it is now out. I was tempted to simply plug in another led
tube but since the power supply has to be over 20 years old perhaps it is time
to replace the whole works. This light stays on 24x7x365 and is more for
accent than visibility so it doesn't need to be all that bright. It isn't that
convenient to service since a lot of junk is stored on top of the bar so
longevity is nice. I have a couple of lamp bases on hand, should I just wire
them in for 3 traditional led bulbs? or maybe just buy el cheapo 4' led shop
light?
After a long day i the shop I have been know to stop by this particular piece
of furniture on occasion...
