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.


I thought they might have T5 tubes in them.

If you wrapped the diffuser around the tube and put a reflector on top
you would get most of the light out.
