Replaceing old T12 veg setup with ?

[foomar]

Thirty year collection of factory/shop fittings are about done.
Yellowy and flickering with buzzing magnetic transformers , 200 watts in total over a four by two box.
Worked really well till this year.

Cant get the fat tubes anymore and the T8,s will go the same way

Could replace with new florescent T5 fixtures
Or use equivalent led fixtures or mix of both
Maybe a couple of 100 watt boards off amazon would do

If you went from florescent to leds how did it go and how many watts would you suggest ?

I like my t5 for seedlings and veg.

I converted my old shop lights with Toggled Leds in 2018, Still working fine, knock on wood.. Maybe not the best compared with all the newest and greatest, yet, still do the job intended for me...

The toggled 4 by 2 four tube hibay looks ideal , will look for something similar in UK.
I know the tubes should be replaced every year , getting six years so far from your lights is a good saveing.
