I doubt it would work as a retrofit. The voltage fed to Kino tubes in a Kino fixture is pretty high.

Is there a dimming capability on these fixtures?

Well you would not need the ballast, just a driver and some of the bulbs don't need a driver just the standard 120v run them. So when I say retrofit I mean replacing the standard globe/ballast combo, that is a huge appeal to me. I'm building a light now with just 10 crees and the output is ridiculous at 700ma per die. I just wish I could see these in person because most dealers of the bulbs have a no return policy. Erik, I have not seen a mention of the tubes being dimmable on any of the sites...

80 bucks per 2' tube. I bet there's 120 of those LED's per tube...
Actually... looks like more than 120... but I'm guessing those are 120 volts. I wonder if anyone is renting these fixtures.

Hey Chris, I found some tubes at 49.99 per tube, same specs...B&M's markup is ridiculous. I'd just like to see some in person, and there's nowhere near me that sells the LED T8 tube.

Hot Damn! Welcome to the future:

I bet the CRI is tragically low on these though.

LOL! I'm scared of the future Chris...scared of a future with a no return policy and green flesh tones. I've got to find these locally so I can test them. Stay posted...I may just take a leap!
