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.

Hi Jenny:
I’m trying to schedule a non-profit theater group for multiple nights of
performances and rehearsals in the Ballroom in May (which is super tough:)
because there’s lots going on!
The request for the Seagull production is for 8 dates, starting with
Wednesday May 3 from 5 to 11 pm. Sudo room has that night booked for ‘5
Minutes of Fame’ . Could that possibly be moved to the Disco Room or in
the basement hall?
I hate to bother you because you probably had a hard time getting that
date as well - but if this works out, we might make some good money!
Thanks,
Lynn

New subject: [omni-building] LED replacement lights and fluorescent fixtures in basement
Just for reference, this is the 8ft LED bulb that we installed in CCL:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Electric-8-ft-T8-T12-44-Watt-Cool-White-Lin…
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.

New subject: [omni-building] LED replacement lights and fluorescent fixtures in basement
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.
