There are some really nice LED 2x2 and 2x4 foot panels for suspended ceilings. The units have adjustable color temperatures too (ie: 2700, 3000, 4000, 5000k). I’m sold. I currently have two fluorescent fixtures that use a total of 320 watts.
The new panels will throw far more light at 1/4 of the watts.

Yes, I used the 2x4 foot fixtures in my train room to replace the older fluorescent fixtures. Some of the newer fixtures are c. 1 inch thick, except for the control box. The can also be installed so that they can be dimmed, but I did not do that with my lights.

Rather than going with cheap Menards fixtures, I went with fixtures from Econolight.com. They were a bit more expensive, but one gets what one pays for. Here is a picture of the actual lights in the room.
