<p>I didn't convert, but I did just wire my shop and I installed LED shop lights. I have a 24 x 24 building....I installed six of the 4ft double LED shop lights. I was a little worried about not having enough light because I had never used LED's.......but those worries were unfounded....those things are bright ! I'm very happy with the amount of light, and the color. I would definitely recommend the LED lights.</p>

<p>That's what I am waiting for thanks for the comment. I had planed on mounting the light fixtures today but got called into work early today. Bulbs will be here Saturday.</p>

<p>I purchased replacement Feit LEDs tubes that fit into standard T8 or T12 sockets. Once I put the first set in I had to run out and get more to re-do the whole shop.</p>
<p>They seem to provide more light than even new fluorescent tubes, the light is cleaner with no flicker and when it's cold, I don't have to wait for them to warm up to get the full light output.</p>
