I rewired all our 8ft fixtures in the shop and office for ballast-less LED tubes from Home Depot about three years ago. When we were still operating full-time they were on 40+ hrs a week and they're still working great. Not the cheapest, but at the time I wasn't seeing any decent 8 ft replacements that I was confident of. Plus HD stuff was readily available and offered the color temperatures I wanted. 6000 K is great in the shop, but it's horrible in the office. Plus it was nice to retrofit my fixtures and not have to re-do everything. Very pleased with both color temps, and my electric bill.
The 4ft fixtures I also did ballast bypass, but sourced them from SuperbrightLED. We did a couple of test fixtures at least five years ago and they've been bulletproof as well. Much cheaper than HD and very good lighting as well.
