Fisher Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was walking through HomeDepot today and spied a 4 foot T8 Linear LED drop in tube. 32W I think, 5000K. Not the same output as T5HO, but it certainly was an unexpected discovery. I, since, read that some of these linears can be used with a quick start - and some require the ballast be bypassed.

Iceturf Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) 32 watts! Wow that is pretty good! Neat find. Hopefully the LED's are half decent quality. Edited February 27, 2015 by Iceturf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've got a couple T8 fixtures I was going to recycle b/c I wanted to move toward a combo of LED+T5... I might give these guys a try first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJay Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do you recall how much they were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceturf Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well I'm apparently blind, I don't see them on the HD.ca website, just the .com side. About 1$/watt, seems almost too reasonable.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
