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&#65533;. 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?
