I have what I consider a small shop in which I can do computer work,
repair my ham radio equipment, plus half of an SO2R set up, Welding (arc
and gas), plasma torch, and machine tools.
My shop has 22 8' 75W Fluorescent tubes for light. The interior is
baked on, white enamel on barn metal, so it's well lit. Imagine
replacing 22 5,000 lumen tubes with LEDs producing a combined output of
110,000 lumens. It'd cost a small fortune.
I replaced all interior lights in the house with CFLs which worked well.
Most of those have been replaced with LED equivalents of the old
incandescents. They are instant on at full brilliance including the
garage lights where it gets COLD! even if they were a bit pricey.
They'll probably last longer than I do and with less mainteenance.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing to the fixture in our
kitchen. It seems that a lot
of these bulbs require rewiring the fixture to eliminate the ballast
and power the bulb from
120 VAC. I'm assuming they must have some sort of built-in supply. If
it's a switching supply,
it has the potential for causing interference.

Hello to the group.
I am building a small shop and thinking about lighting the place with
LED tube lights that fit
the T8 fluorescent lamp fixtures.
My question is, has anyone used or using these lights, if so, do they
give off any RFI? If so
what band or bands?
Thanks.
