Shop lighting

I would like to change out a 25,000 sf building with them. but don't want to spend that much to do it. kinda defeats the purpose of the money savings energy wise.

Around here the electrical utility company (ComEd) has generous incentives for LED lighting upgrades that significantly shorten the payback on a building that size - not sure if something like that exists where you are, but maybe worth checking into?

Just as everyone else, I replaced my 4' fluorescent bulbs with LED last year and love it. I have a 30 x 40 shop with 12 ceiling light fixtures. I did have to bypass the ballasts and left off the lenses to keep the dead bugs and dust from gathering in them.
