My garage ceiling fluorescent light fixtures are oddball F40T12 METRIC 1160mm/3.8ft tubes on a 120VAC magnetic ballast, 2-lamp.
I can find F34T12 tubes but $12 each, a ballast costs $25 so that could be almost $50 if everything needs replacing. The fixtures seem not worth repairing.
Converting to LED would be best, but getting long 4' LED tubes out of china is expensive; minimum 25-lot case of lamps on Aliexpress looks like an expensive venture and chinese LED quality is all over the place.
Anyone know of some alternatives? I have around 6 fixtures to fix up.
