I could get dimmable T5 ballasts for my dead fixtures, but I don't want them.
I don't know how the light would bounce around in the fixture half of its open.
Cheap Chinese tubes fade after a little use, I use mostly 30,000hr German tubes.
T8 tubes suck.
Another concern is the upper operating environment temperature limit on my LED tube is only 113°F.
My shed is easily go to hit that this summer. My garage, hopefully not.
T5 run in a 120°F environment no problem.
