How can I transform my fluorescent ceiling lights to color changing LED lights?

I'm trying to transform my room to an aesthetic setup. I want to replace my boring fluorescent white ceiling lights to be LED lights that change color via remote/cycle. How can I go about this? Is there an compatible LED part compared to the bulb shown in the picture? Is there a hack I can do to transform to this concept?

The bulb shown in picture to fit in my ceiling is Phillips Alto FB32T8/TL835/6.

    Those kind of tubes require a ballast to light.   LED's do not so you would have to open up the fixture and remove the ballast.   Then you need to find LED bulbs that do color changing with a remote control.   Look on Amazon.    They will not be as bright as the bulbs you are removing.

    I replaced a fluorescent light in my son’s ceiling light with a LED light bulb. I doubt you would find one that changes color.

    The LED light really brighten up my son’s room. 

    Get a strand of LED changing color lights.  The holidays are coming and you will be able to find them everywhere.

    You can get replacement LED panels with RGB colour changes. I think the Alto tubes went out with the ark.

    For that kind of light fixture, you will need to replace the fixture before you can put different kinds of bulbs in it.
