CAN YOU HAVE LED and fluorescent lights together?

CAN YOU HAVE LED and fluorescent lights together?

Do LED tubes need a ballast?

No LED bulbs require a ballast, although some are engineered to work with an existing ballast. You will find ballast-compatible or “plug-and-play” LEDs that are designed to replace linear fluorescents, compact fluorescents, or HIDs. Incandescent and halogen lamps do not require a ballast.
