If you buy the LED that's compatible with a ballast, then you can't use it without, so you'll be stuck putting an undeeded ballast in for an LED bulb. Better to simply buy the direct power LED bulbs, they're cheaper and you just hack out the ballast, a very easy job.
See John you learn something new on this forum everyday. I did not know that they made Direct power tubes. I'll be on the lookout for them thank you.
