The main reason for the conversion was that the electrical components of the fluorescents were burned out. It was most cost effective to use the LEDs. This was a fast simple conversion the fact that there is a net power savings is a bonus but in this case not a controlling factor. The resulting light output was also quite satisfactory. All in all this turned out to be a good solution to a problem that could have been more expensive to get around.

Nice to know I am "so wrong" lol Oh well it happens. I was not able to locate the lights and I wonder what you paid for them? The cost to convert these was $32 per light including labor. Anyway no need to send the info as these lights are already done but thanks anyway. I know this may not be a perfect solution (is there ever a perfect solution?) But I offer it simply to help others that may wish to follow a similar path.
