Most of these new LED bulbs are type A&B, which work with and without a ballast. I prefer to remove the ballast altogether, which makes it more simple, reliable, and energy efficient than these bulbs. That being said, if you don't want to do any wiring, and your ballasts are still good, these are easy to just plug in and go.
The LEDs were well packed, no broken bulbs or bent end pins in either box.
They didn't make the old ballasts buzz or have any problems with flickering.
At 1800 lumen, I worried that they would be dimmer than the old t8 bulbs that claimed to be 2500 lumen
But between blowing out decades of dust from the diffusers and the zillion hours on the old T8s, they appear to be equally bright.
Here is a pic to show you that the LED bulbs look like daylight and the old t8 look like antiques:

Its easy to bypass the ballast
I saw this coming a mile away. Still not worth it. Remove the ballast FTW.
