Converted 6 8’ dual bulb fluorescent lights to LED tubes.
Only have 1 tube per fixture right now and it seems as bright or brighter than before:

Did that break the bank doing that Gary?

I have 18-20 T-8's and 6 or so T-12 round pins I'll have to do someday, after the worlds supply of bulbs run out.

The tubes were on sale from GreenTec

https://greentekes.com/linear-tube/bypass-series-40w
Their sales outlet:
https://greenlightdepot.com/collections/8ft-led-tubes

The 6 tubes were about $100.
No more humming ballast noise!

Now I just have to figure out what to do with the 12+ lamps I have and will never use.

Cool
Sell those bulbs to Amazon then they can ship em to me. I've had a case of 15 ordered for months. Canceled once, then ordered again.

I realized this weekend that I need to build a proper assembly table...one that is bigger. I quickly ended up on the floor.

The sag you see is a design flaw; no support is called for. I added one after this pic; no more sagging!

At least you ended up on the floor voluntarily. I knocked a FINISHED veneered MDF door of my bench onto the floor last night. I don’t think I can salvage it either.

Out-feed/assembly table. Yes, build em big if you have the room.
Mine is about 40" wide and 7' long. I don't assemble much on it but if need be.....
