thanks Patrik!!!
I believe these LED bulbs can also be used with NO ballast, which means they're
a sound investment for fixtures which have a bad ballast in them, since we can
just wire them in and forget about that one.
For fixtures we have that have working ballasts, i think we should make sure to
first exhaust our supply (if any) of existing replacement fluorescent bulbs.

Just for reference, this is the 8ft LED bulb that we
installed in CCL:

A bit expensive at $60, but we had previously already gone through
something like three of the 8ft fluorescents. Next time one burns out, I'm
replacing it with another LED.
As far as I know, this type can be used as a direct replacement with an
old-fashioned ballast or one of the newer electronic starters. Feel free to
borrow ours if you have an 8ft fixture that you'd like to test out. If I
remember correctly, the LED one is in the 8ft fixture closest to the
graffiti wall.

regarding the flourescent light ballasts in the
basement, i believe the
replacements i installed were inductive but they may have been electronic.
I don't know if they are saying that the LED replacement lamps are _only_
compatible with "inductive" ballasts and not electronic, or if they mean
that
they are OK with leaving the ballast in place.
I do not believe that our lighting fixtures use starters at all though, so
I
just can't guess whether any particular LED replacement bulbs will work
with
our fixtures without modifications.
the right thing to do would be to order a single LED replacement bulb (or a
pair, since sometimes they only work in pairs) and test our ballasts with
them.
then if they work, we can get more, enough for all the fixtures we need
them
for.
that said, i think that if we have any more working conventional
flourescent
bulbs in stock (including in fixtures which need a replacement ballast) we
should use them up before switching to buying LEDs.

Adding sudo-discuss back in - we could also take the opportunity to make

there and i belueve there is
maybe a projector screen still mounted?
Basement todos:
* replace some dead flourescents with led flourescents (jake, do u
remember
if they're inductive or electronic? Going off of

* rodent mitigation in some hidden pocket areas, namely kitchen, storage

* clean floors
* arrange seating / pews & ambient lighting
We could make the sudo party the week prior a work party if folks are
game.. just a thought. More thoughts more than welcome!
Also robb maybe this would be a good test of the modularity of the
entrance
hall stage you're building RIGHT NOW as i type :D
