18w 24 inch fluroscent fixture front cabin carver 356 aft cabin


Hi. I noticed the second switch in front cabin was not doing anything, until I realized there was a 18w 24 inch fluorescent light over the mirror. I thought bulb was burned out, so got a led version of same tube light. This required I bypass the ballast in the fixture. So I did. But it did not work. So I assumed it was bad led tube I got. I hooked everything back and got a 15w 24 inch fluorescent (could not find a 18W at local home depot). I noticed the light slowly started from one end, but only got to half of the tube. After several tries realized I was not getting anywhere and maybe ballast (fixture is bad). So I ripped it off to buy a replacement. Unfortunately I do not know what to replace with now. I am OK with fluorescent or led, or puck lights, or anything really (not battery powered though). I just need one that I can hook up neutral and hot wire and be done. Can anyone suggest anything? I do not want a fixture with plugs, boxes, etc. just 2 wires that I can hook up to the wire coming from the wall. Also do I get fixture for 110 or 12 watt system?
