I've got one failing panel, and the replacement doesn't work at all.

I'm guessing Cheap and Chinese are two of those three.

I was going to put 600mm x 600mm square LED panels in my garage but eventually decided against it due to one reason or another, instead I started looking around at LED replacement tubes. We have a CEF locally so I bought 5 LED tubes from them of varying lengths and it's like an operating theatre in there now
Highly recommended by me.

How do they work with an existing neon fitting?
Mike G wrote:Thanks Bob. I have an area of the workshop that has a couple of neons but needs a little extra light, so I might swap to LEDs and see if that helps.

Depends on the fitting Mike. If you have an old 50Hz ballast (heavy iron cored choke, capacitor and glow starter, then fit the "modified starter" that comes with the tube and then fit the tube. If you have modern high frequency ballasts with no starter then just fit the tube.
The tubes tend to come with instructions.
