What is your favorite LED retrofit tube for linear fluorescent tube fixtures? « on: May 19, 2022, 04:19:48 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
My personal favorite LED retrofit tubes intended for linear fluorescent tube fixtures are the European EM ballast compatible LED tubes because I can use them in preheat fluorescent tube fixtures without any rewiring whatsoever and I can easily switch back to fluorescent whenever I want to by simply changing the tube and starter. Does anyone else have a favorite LED retrofit tube intended for linear fluorescent tube fixtures? If so, which LED tubes are your favorite?

Probably these, back in March 2019 I fitted 135 of these into our frontage sign on our showroom at work, cutting a massive 6 1/2KW off it’s running load!, ALL 135 are still working 3 years later!

Probably these MaxLite DirectFit glass LED tubes. The Washington State Fair has these in nearly every single fluorescent fixture within the fairgrounds; they are very bright, they replicate the fluorescent tubes they replaced, and I haven't seen one failure in the hundreds I've seen.
