I have been trying an LED panel light at home for a few months and it has been no trouble so far. I may get some more. Radio interference from it only at close range.
In one place I worked they had hundreds of those Thorn SRS lamps in double 5ft fittings, two ballasts in each fitting. We replaced many so they do fail. I have a few spare SRS ballasts and a complete fitting in my stock here as when the luminaires were scrapped I saved a few.
The entire building is being demolished now so I guess a lot of the old fittings I repaired will soon be on the scrap heap.
