I thought LED lights were efficient?

Ice-Tea:
What pisses me off a bit is the whole "oh, all those fluorescents have got to go" as if it's written in the Bible.  :--

The really good fluorescents are at least on par with poor LED replacements.
Gyro:
I am still contemplating what LED replacement to use for the 8ft T12 125W florescent that I have in my garage. Centrally placed, the light it puts out is so bright and even that I'm loathed to retire it.

I've added a PIR LED for trips to the freezer and washing machine, so the florescent only goes on when I'm actually working on something.

Why not just keep using it? My house is almost all LED but I still have fluorescent in the laundry room and garage. It works and it's not particularly inefficient.,
Gyro:
Yes, that's pretty much the conclusion I've come to for the foreseeable future. I don't think they make 8ft tubes any more but I still have a spare, which should see me out. With an electronic starter, blackened ends seem to be a thing of the past anyway.
james_s:
Even if they don't make the tubes anymore you should be able to find one, now may be a good time to start looking for a spare. I collect lamps and have some fluorescent tubes from the 1940s so even old lamps turn up now and then.
