Fortunately I used led panels, not strips when my ballast burned up. I have replaced the led strip we use as a night light under the bathroom cabinets for the third time in five years... every 2000 hours as more than half have stopped working. The led strip I put under my awning did the same in less than 300 hours as it hard to find voltage regulated ones.
I'll ask a friend that's big in led lighting if there is a strip that's worth buying and report back as what I'm doing is not working. Other than the strips, all the other cheap China/EBay LEDs have worked out well.
