The Hyperion bulbs in cases of 24 is not available at the moment. I got clear tubes. The ones in the link are frosted. I'm not sure what difference it makes but I'd think you lose a few lumens. You want to search for 'ballast bypass' and 'one end'. That way you cut the old ballast out and just hook up hot and neutral wires to one end of each tube.


Kent I'm taking back 40 direct replacement bulbs to Lowes today because, while they were cheap, I didn't want to have to deal with ballasts ever failing. With a 50,000 hour life, I expect these bulbs will LONG out live me. That's 13.7 years 10 hours a day.
