I am looking of some options to put some light in my garage that doesn't take forever to warm up. I was thinking of using 4' LED tubes. Looking around I found some 4' LED lights. These usually are fixtures with permanent lights. You are then stuck with the wattage they provide. They put these long life number on the bulbs but we all know these are not real world numbers so I worry about spending all that money for fixed bulls and one going out. Has anyone tried buy some tombstones and epoxying them to a board? Add a cord and small junction box and you have an LED light fixture. The other option is to get a cheap $12 2 light fluorescent fixture and just pull the ballast out.
