I've got 8 foot dual tube cans in my shop, and the florescent tubes work
just fine. However, my last trip over to a local store found me buying
what may well be the last case they will ever stock.

I expect I'll be forced to replace or rewire all my cans eventually
myself, but none of the places I checked had LED tubes at anywhere near
the price yours cost. Care to share your source. Also, let us know how
they do after a few years. I replaced all the bulbs in my office and
machine room with Leeson LED bulbs and the first one died within a few
months. I think I've more than half, and I only got them a couple years
ago. I originally got a lot more than I would need, and I am down to
just one or two spares.

Needless to say I'll be looking for another brand of LED bulbs next time.

I did a quick search on 8 foot LED tubes, and they are available from a number of sources. Did not check prices as I expect they will cost less when you need them.
