That would be a complete replacement of fixtures, with full spectrum
LEDs of 5,000 to 6,000 Lumens per tube, or about 10,000 per fixture.
I'd like the electrical , but the equivalent of 10,000 Lumens would
likely be on the expensive side. I have to replace 22, 8' tubes on the
average of average of every two years.
It would be nice to not have to do that with long lived LEDs

Sounds like magnetic ballasts.
I had to replace a bunch of magnetic ballasts in my basement; they
were oozing potting material. I discovered that many of them contain
PCBs, which has made safe disposal challenging. The date codes on GE
ballasts will tell you if they contain PCB-insulated capacitors.

These days, if you are replacing ballasts, you might as well get rid of
ballasts all together - Just go to what they call "Direct wired" LED tubes
