I have a LED strip light installed in my office.

Already half of the LEDs burned out on one bulb in less than a month.

Aside from that, they produce good light.

In my home, I finally decide to replace one of the sucky T12's, with a
high output T5. The result is nothing short of amazing. A lot of light
of the most pleasant kind.

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 put in 2 fixtures of 4 T5's in the kitchen. Wow is there light! Wife
loves it. Can see everything. Easier to read books... Wish I had them
split, but they were not so they are all on or off.
