I just replaced over 300 T8 bulbs with LED ones. I was able to leave the
ballasts in place, so these do draw a little more than 100% LED
fixtures, but I calculated the ROI to be about 5 years. These are the
ones I used:

I paid almost double of that price ($10 per bulb), so your ROI is
probably much less.

Anyone ever replaced their standard fluorescence ceiling lights with LEDs?
I haven't researched it much yet, but someone told me you can't just use a drop
in long bulb replacement.
You have to change out the center piece, forgot what that's called.
Is that correct?
Is this something I can do myself? Or do I need to hire a company?
My system has about 24 bays with three bulbs each drawing about 1500W when they
are all working.
Do I save much by going LED on these? What's ROI?
