I've asked about those and have no sources of such. They do have to work
thru ballasts and deal with starter issues that are no longer relevant, you remove and rewire the ballasts / starters out of
the old fixtur
The things I've seen are the same form factor as a 4' dual tube dual 40
watt
fixture with 110 in and light out. Pull and toss an
old dual tube fixture
and
replace with new LED. But I've not seen the tube
solution.
I've got a couple of spots the tube thing would be desirable, but no
source of
such. If you do have a source I'd be interested.
thanks

I have just replaced two tubes in my shack with LED tubes. They came with
"dummy" starters, went straight into the existing fittings.
I am on 240v rather than 110v but GE seems to make similar devices for the
USA...
