I had a ballast fail in one of the lights, time to convert to led.
Rigid led strips and a dc buck converter to keep the supply steady at 12v.
Light output in each fixture is about 300 lumens, noticeably brighter than the tubes they replaced.
About $6/ fixture in parts.
Converted mine to led 5 years ago...no buck converters....still going strong.

Thanks for the replys!
I didn't use them either, but it wouldn't be the first time I left something out . . . .
Good to learn about the buck converters - I hadn't heard of them before.
Now to find the one I need for the cove lighting . . . .
The voltage sensitivity depends on the led.
I thought about not worrying about it either.
These are 12v leds but the voltage is up over 14v when plugged in and the converter is running.
The buck converters are cheap ($2), I figured it should ensure I never have to worry about.
