I was all set to go with the Hyperikon 90+ CRI tubes when I realized they are double-ended instead of single-ended. It seems like for future proofing single-ended will be it since they are UL listed and doubled-ended is not (since you can grab both ends of the tube and not get shocked).
Since I have a new installation my decision is harder, since I can't find any "LED-ready" dual-ended strips without a ballast - they are all single-ended. So I'd have to buy a bunch of fluorescent type and rewire them, more expensive and a little wasteful since I'd throw all the ballasts away. Also in 7-10 years I'd rather not have to replace all the strips if dual-ended LED's aren't available. Seems better to go all single-ended?
Does anyone know of a source of singled-ended high-CRI 4' LED tubes?
