Chris, check out Finelite...that's what we've used in our "green" prototype building.
Hope this helps! S. Willis

LEDs are great, but fluorescents are pretty efficient as it is. While attending an energy modeling workshop, I was amazed at the savings from dimmable ballasts tied to photosensors for open offices. Because of the big open space, you can do this with relatively few sensors, and the energy savings was somewhere in the 5-10% range for a core and shell project... Not sure how those figures will translate to a more developed project (or in real life) but it's definitely worth investigating.
