Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:First thing I would do if I ever owned a pin with a fluorescent bulb. If you never thought about how dangerous fluorescent bulbs can be, just take a look at the EPA's information on them: https://www.epa.gov/cfl/cleaning-broken-cfl
I've done this swap with all the fluorescent fixtures in my house. So much better as the LED tubes generate little to no heat, the light doesn't change color/dim over time, and LEDs have none of the annoying noise that fluorescent transformers can make.
CFL bulbs where such a scam and we all mostly fell for it. There was an army of people crusading to use them. Any efficiency gain from CFL was lost to cost of building them and disposal. It's crazy to think CFL is gone but you can still buy incandescent. Ten - fifteen years ago everyone said the opposite. The light spectrum from a warm CFL sucks too. We should have switched to LED sooner and kept on using incandescent in the stop gap time. If anything CFL delayed LED tech.
Thankfully LEDs lights can be really good looking, cheaper than cfl to build/disposal, efficient, last a long time. I have one overhead basement fixture with flourescent bulbs left that rarely gets used. As soons the bulb or ballast goes out in it, will be all LED.
