Great idea, but you missed a step ;-) I've replaced all of
our T8-T12'w with 1 to 4 std screw-in lamp bases (aka
incandescent) then just used cfl's. Total cost less than a
single replacement circline bulb. Easy to change, all the
advantages of cfl's, can adjust wattage as needed, and we're
ready for LED lamps in the future. Now adding a pull chain
switch for Hi/Lo. Need to look for a 4 wire pull chain,
off(optional)-1lamp-2lamps-3lamps ;-) Someone needs to make
a "three-way" Y adapter to hold two cfls, think of the
flexibility.
