Anyone used 'em?

I've got a high-bay shop with about a dozen 8' florescent fixtures, only
a few of which work. I'm thinking of replacing them one-by-one with
these things, whenever the planets align and I'm extra flush with cash:

The alternatives are to buy a bunch of ballasts and continue to mess with
fluorescents (and tubes that are now considered toxic waste, omigod), or
mount light sockets onto 2x6's and put in screw-in LED bulbs (which is
about $50 per fixture cheaper for the same light, but labor-intensive).


I have been using the 2 tube 48" fluorescents, and replaced a couple
with similar sized LED fixtures. The light level seems about the same,
but it has been so hot in the shop, that I have not been out to do any
machine work, so I am waiting to see how it goes with things like
strobing. They are really expensive at about $70 a fixture from the
bigbox hardware store.
