T12 LED Tube Replacement for Barn Lighting

Right now, my barn is set up with Philips 37282-1, F96T12/DX/ALTO, Single Pin T12, 75 Watt, 6500 Kelvin, 4500 Lumens. I am looking for a possible LED to replace them with that would also simulate sunlight for the animals kept there. I have 25 double-tube fixtures. Any information and recommendations would be welcome.

While we do not have T12 LED products currently available, our 6500K CENTRIC DAYLIGHT™ Full Spectrum Flicker-Free T8 LED Tube Lights are usable in T12 fixtures when bypassing the ballast to utilize line voltage. In case it proves to be helpful, the instructions for this process are within the T8 LED Tube Light product user manual. That being said, our T8 LED Tube Lights provide 1600 lumens each, which is less than the 4500 lumens provided by the current products. 

If you would prefer to utilize LED Strip Lights, we might alternatively recommend utilizing the 6500K FilmGrade™ WHITE LED Strip Lights, which are able to provide 450 lumens per foot. These lights are often installed within aluminum channels and can be powered using a matching voltage power supply, such as the FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply for LED Strip or the TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply. 

For an option that provides a closer simulation of natural daylight, we would alternatively recommend our 6500K ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strips. Though more expensive per unit than the above FilmGrade LED Strip Lights, this item features a much higher CRI of 99, which is virtually indistinguishable from daylight.
