It’s around 4’x1’x1” and puts out 4000 lumens - quite bright and enough to fill the entire room with task level lighting. You could certainly make the equivalent of a T8 bulb out of modern high output LEDs and they’d be able to be switched on and off solid-state and they wouldn’t suffer from frequent switching. Heck, you could probably multiplex them the same way you multiplex smaller LED displays and it would still work.

You can buy, made by Philips, a direct replacement LED unit that will 
install in place of the flourescent tube. Looks like a tube, just has 
lots of LED inside.
