It sure looks like linear fluorescent, which make far more business
sense than LED for general lighting.


Doesn't look like much space in the box at the top to shove a tube. I
don't think a T8 would fit at least not without the box being very snug
and you need space around a tube to bounce the light that is being
radiated in the "wrong" direction into the edge of dangly diffuser.


thinner tubes would fit with space. With such a distant view its hard to tell much detail, but there are certainly ways to redirect the light from T8s or T12s without space by the side, such as by reflecting light above down into the edge of the sheet glass.
