I know there are some direct LED replacements out there, and finally starting to see them in stores:

But I need T12 (and they didn't have short ones in LED). There's something like this

But kinds hate to spend a lot plus shipping and end up with something I don't like.
Plus the ballasts are still there.
Is it better to just rip the fixtures out and replace them entirely with something that's LED? Any recommendations in that area? |
I'd take the existing ones out completely and keep them for a rental property. You could spend a ton of cash and time trying to retrofit and be unhappy with the results. There's tons of LED options in the city and you can for sure get the product you want. My rule of thumb is that it's always easier to start with a clean slate instead of trying to make something work. Plus it also isn't fun working under a cabinet for a long period of time trying to retrofit, it's awful for your back.
