The fixture - and putting the correct lamp into it - is more important as
efficiency IMO. Some lamps burn out very early in the wrong fixture.
My recent article in the Huffington Post sums up my view:

That said, I'm finding some excellent 120vac LED products these days.
Haven't tried any in tube format yet, but I have an undercounter LED strip
in the works to replace a tired t-8 FL.

Dont bother with DC LEDs unless you are lighting an RV or camper. There are
some good DC LED fixtures out there for that purpose, but they are made to
be "built-n".
