I am interested in finding something better than the old-style flourescent tubes with the older ballasts, currently being used at work. I'm not management, but I am one of their 'idea guys'.
At first, I was looking for an improved flourescent tube, with a digital ballast, when I saw "LED" and became interested.
So my question is, "Is this feasible?z If so, how is it done, how much moneey is involved?" (I'm guessing that if this is possible, and if they are interested, they would like to 'try it out' before jumping in). From the small bit if reading I"ve done, it looks like the LED doesn't use alternating current (per a Wikipedia article). Also, heat may be a factor, since it gets pretty warm during the summer.
If LED's are not a feasible alternative, what is? I'd like to save money in the long term. Thanks!
