I just went through this with a couple of fixtures in the shop.
I have 2 F96T12HO 2 lamp fixtures. The ballasts were leaking, decision time.
Did some calculating, each lamp makes 8900 lumens. That's 17,800 per fixture.
The replacement LED lamps I found were 3600 lumens each.
Though the LED's are more efficient, I needed the light output that the original lamps made. I didn't try the LED's, so I can't say they would not have been enough. One advantage they have is the light is directional, where the fluorescent tubes are omnidrectional, some light is lost upward.
But, lumens are lumens. Depends on your needs, just be sure you have sufficient light when done, calculate the cost of the replacement, consider the energy savings.
In my situation, I needed the light output, the old fixtures were in good shape, well built, the lamps were still good. I ended up going back with new electronic ballasts for about $40 each.

Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
