Getting rid of the ballast and the T8 fluorescent bulbs that burn out and retrofitting and converting to LED was the best thing I have done. It was easy and the LED light is fantastic! Before doing this project, switching over and converting to LED was confusing because I didn't know what was actually happening when you retrofit from T8 fluorescent to LED lights. I watched a bunch of videos but none of them described what was actually happening with the circuits. They just cut a bunch of wires without explaining clearly. I made this video on how to convert and retrofitting to T8 LED's in the hopes that others could understand what and why and how. Converting and retrofitting to LED lights is not that hard to do yourself once you understand what is happening.

GOOD NEWS TO TELL YOU !!
The technology has changed since making this video! I refreshed the links below.....The LED bulbs I have listed below can be installed anyway you prefer. They're called "hybrid"LED. They can be plug and play.....just remove your old florescent and install them...... or..... you can remove the ballast to save even more power and wire it with the tombstones (listed below). They are great!
It's been a few years now and I definitely prefer the 5000K over the 4000K. It's just a great work light to use in a work shop. Hope that helps making your decision!
