What if the ballast failed after using Phillips led tube for a while? Need to replace with traditional ballast again?

Durable yes but probably not until 20 years for my case. If not faulty, it might be noisy

ballast very durable...its never failed using more than 20years ...
replace the T8 tube more often than the ballast...

thanks ...
