Thanks! I think in the short term we're going to try to make the electronic ballast lamps we already purchased work.... If we hit any issues, I'll look around for the bypass.
We only have 10? Bulbs, I think, and we have at least 8 fixtures, each taking two bulbs. So we'll have to buy more anyways, I'll probably get what you suggest for the remainder, and test them along side the direct ballast driven ones... Either way, thanks
They both work fine. I mainly meant if you were having to buy electronic ballasts to make the bulbs you have work, it may be cheaper to buy the bypass bulbs and do away with the ballasts. Same amount of work.
