    I have 6 lights left out of a case of 10-4ft LED bulbs. These are direct replacements for T8 fluorescent lights and require a T8 electronic ballast. They won't work with a T12 ballast which I didn't know at the time of purchase.
    They us less than half the energy of T8 fluorescents and would be great for someone with T8 fluorescents in a shop or garage. $50 for the 6 and below my cost for new bulbs.

    So I could do a direct replacement of my t8s?

    Yes they're a direct replacement for T8's. I had T12 bulbs in our kitchen but the ballasts are magnetic and not compatible. If you already have T'8's you pop out the fluorescent's and put in the new LED's as these bulbs work with the T8 electronic ballasts.

    I require 48, not going to happen until the retail price comes down. I have 15 fluorescents to use up before I start the led replacement. Going to be a while, only replaced one in the last 5 years.

    I have some brand new t12 bulbs (not led) if you need any. I recently bought a pack of 30 for quite cheap.

    Thanks for the kind offer but I've converted all my lights to LED and got bulbs which required no ballasts. One of my T12 ballasts had gone so just replaced the whole works. If I had T8's I'd have just kept the bulbs I had as the electronic ballasts would have worked with them.
