$2 to $3 k on shop lights?? You obviously have more money that me. I would never drop that kind of coin on any lights.

Where I work we have tons of CFL lights. We are constantly replacing the bulbs. The lights never shut off. We have ballast issues all the time. They started replacing them with LED lights. Some of these lights have been on a year straight and have never been turned off for any reason. No issues...

Where did you buy these?

But in the end will this be worth it? No ballast to go bad. Does the lamp itself have a long life span? If so then you may have spent your money wisely

Ok confused? Why would i buy t8 lights and then upgrade ballast and bulbs? Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy led and be done with? Not trying to be an idiot just curious as to your train of thought here. Thx
