Quote:The difference in brightness is doubtless because the old tubes are getting on a bit… they’re the originals I installed shortly after moving in, so are about 28 years old.Foc me! That must be a record. Yeah tubes do lose a bit of brightness over time. Plus the modern fluorescents are much brighter these days.
The LED might be nicer light, if it's not too blue, as they don't have the flicker which can make fluorescents tiring.
I put phillips LED downlighters in my kitchen. I like them a lot.
