I know, but I always change all the lights in my properties to LEDs. So it
was coming down one way or another.

re: "They say this is a direct replacement"<br>
<br>
<i>Probably</i> not. NOTE: "Ballast Required!"=C2=A0 I re-wir=
ed some
old-school fluorescent fixtures for LED 'tubes,' and had to rep=
lace
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>
<br>
TL;DR: I don't think analog ballasts work with LEDs, but I've n=
