I'd build or buy new fixtures & power supplies for that savings.

Simple replacement bulb.

AHA! 4-footers, love their warning about "ballets" US seller.
These would be direct replacement after bypassing the ballast.
$32 ($25 apiece in case lot of 100)

I don't think these would be as bright as fluors because of the
derating, but they'd be nice, long, bright strips.

My 20W incan replacement bulb is called a corn light, but uses 104 of
the 5050 chips instead of conical plastic coated LEDs.

or 25W CFL.


Have you seen these 3W LED fixtures? I mounted one form a shelf over
my computer desk to illuminate the keyboard. I think one will fit un
place of the light bulb on my drill press, and I plan on installing a
bunch of them as emergency lighting. Each comes with an AC power
supply, but they will run on DC.

Eek! ****-colored 3000k light. Also, you'll have to isolate those
in the ceiling or they'll suck every ounce of heat out of your house
in four minutes flat.

More money, but it's a more pure art form for the shop. titter
