Dont forget these as an option. <https://store.marinebeam.com/12-f8t5-led-tube-for-fluorescent-fixtures-fl-t5-66/> I kept my existing Fines Lite fixtures in head, galley, and aft cabin plus the integrated fixtures in the headliner and replaced all the Fluorescent Tubes with these T5 LED tubes. Definitely brighter and excellent light quality. (Natural White is what we went with)
LED's are definitely in the 'you get what you pay for' scheme of things, IMO.
