LED lights are energy efficient. They are up to 80% more efficient than traditional lighting such as fluorescent and incandescent lights. 95% of the energy in LEDs is converted into light and only 5% is wasted as heat. Using less energy means the demand from power plants decreases there reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
As compared to fluorescent tubes, the most important advantages of LED tubes are energy efficiency and long service life. They are also safer due to being cooler than incandescent lights and much more resistant to breakage. LEDs don’t have any flickering issues that can happen with fluorescent.
Ultimately, the efficiency, long life, and functionalities of T8 LEDs make them worthy of potentially replacing standard T8 fluorescent tubes.

A ballast compatible tube is one where you can pull out the existing tube, leaving the ballast installed and fit the LED tube.

No, they work with most electronic ballasts.
