As fate would have it, one of my T8 fluorescent fixtures blew a capacitor in the electronic ballast. Since I had an extra pair of the Amazon LED replacement bulbs, I re-wired the fixture for the new bulbs. This fixture is one of the compact T8 two-bulb "shop light" varieties. The ballast was split so that there were two circuit boards to save space (one part under each end cap). It was definitely tedious to re-wire! So I'll also see how the plants do. I have about 60 small seedlings under them right now, so should be a good test. It's 6500K, so hopefully they will do well.
