T5 LED Question

[phi delt reefer]

not all t5 fixtures are easily retro-fitable (probably not a word)

I am assuming you have a linear bulb that fits in the t5 sockets (similar to what orphek tried but abandoned)

the problem was that you had to disconnect the ballasts and run a dedicated power supply which was no longer convenient.

at $1800 you could buy a brand new fixture. Possibly a couple depending on the model.

we need more info
