5000K lamps are a nice bright white color, those will really get you some good worklight and being LED there will be NO startup delay in cold weather either. flick the switch and instant on.
yep, i removed the ballasts out of all of them. saw no reason to leave them in. most of them were the newer type, much lighter weight ballasts. a couple fixtures had the old style heavy, black junk filled ballasts.
been debating on what to do with all the ballasts? they have any resell value at all?
