It feels like I can't get anything florescent related in my state anymore. I couldn't even find retro fit led bulbs locally. It seriously sucks considering I have 300'+ of tubes in my shop.

I haven't in a while too. I'd love to replace everything but it was expensive last I checked. It is expensive to turn them on too! lol you can see the meter spin much faster when they're on

You have to weigh out the cost vs electricity cost over time. I don't even know what the 8' fluoro lights wattage is.
