Lithonia sb232 fixtures and led

[keith5064]

For my 20x24 garage im thing of going with 12 Lithonia sb232 fixtures, and rather than buying bulbs , I'm thinking about going to a 5,000k led bulb right away..what would be the benefit/disadvantage to this? Would there be a different fixture that would better suit my needs? This fixture is fairly low cost so it seems to be monetarily feasable...

No need to buy a fixture and toss the ballast. Please see bulbs and housings in post #1 of Best Light Fixture Sticky. Linked below.

Sounds like a solid plan. Whatever place you buy them should have the ballast compatible tubes in 5000k that will fit right in. Easy peasy.
Benefits: Easy installation, low cost, good light spread, clean look.
Disadvantages: Depends on your annual hours of operation. Over 4000 or 5000 hours, there are more efficient products. If your hours are under that, it wont make any difference.
Good luck,
