just checked, the current fixtures contain 4 x T12 bulbs. 3300 lumens, 20k hour bulbs, 80CRI, 4100k temp. Standard diffuser covering each one.
Don't know if it makes any difference, but these are likely original to our 1978-era house, or at least close to that old. Perhaps its because of their age that I'm reluctant to just do the drop-in LED bulb replacement, for fear that there is something bound to fail right after I invest the cash to replace the bulbs. I know that there's not much to the fixtures, but somehow it seems more wise to just replace the fixtures. I guess that might be the direction I prefer (option #2 or #3). Wiring new lights is no problem, I've done that sort of thing plenty of times.
