In the last couple of months I bought several 48" LED lights from Lowes for about $50 each.
The first one I installed was in a basement and was very impressed with the amount of light it put out compared to the 48" T-8 fixtures around it.
Next I install four in four offices. I replaced two 48" T-8 fixtures with one LED fixture in each office. More light from the LEDs.

So I bought a few for my house.

At my shop (ten foot ceiling) I'm replacing the eight foot H.O. T-12 with 4' T-5. The four and six tube T-5 put out a tremendous amount of light. The T-5 fixtures cost me $80 and $130 each with tubes.

I would suggest you go to Lowes or Home Depot and look at the 4' LED fixtures. They are 120 volt converted to 120 DC with out a transformer. The covers looks like half of a T-8 lamp.
Not bad looking but puts our a lot of light and uses a lot less energy.
