Nice job. I appreciate the way you emphasized safety with power shutdown, testing, and lamp removal. You had clear enunciation with your presentation. Something you may want to include would be cleaning the reflector and lens. That gets the most light out of the fixture.

Great job! Thank you very much! Might be easier to just leave the ballasts in. Just disconnect them. They are difficult to dispose of, and you should not just throw them in the garbage.

I wonder if you can help me find the led lamp you bought from Amazon. Can you write down the link so I can get them? Truly appreciate you and the missis. Thank you very much.

From one Old Guy to another, Perfect video. Just did mine (hot one end and neutral on the other). Worked like a charm. I must admit, mine were hanging shop lights, so I could unplug them, take them down and put them on the bench and rewire them, and then rehang and plug them in. I avoid overhead work more each day. LOL.

I have what I believe is a ballast that has seen its last day. To determine if I can convert the fixture, I go to a KZbin video that will show me how this is done, and if I am able to do it. If the video is more than 10 minutes long, then I figure I can't do it. This "KZbin video rule" applies to a number of chores including plumbing and automotive. But good video.

It would be much easier to use a single ended led lamp which is what I did. You power one end and the tombstone on the other end is just for support. Much simpler wiring.
@TheBluebird652 жыл бұрын
Thank You for the walk through on this conversion. I had earlier converted to a Sylvania LED That is powered from one end only. They call it a Toggled tube conversion so the neutral wire and the line or load wire are fed through the two pins on the same end of the tube. I bought those lamps at Home Depot but they are no longer available through that store. I would suspect that the newer tubes by FEIT that I just purchased are not going to be compatible . So I will have to be very careful to not use the newer tubes in the fixtures that I previously wired for the Sylvania lamps. I have just one suggestion for either of these two conversions. That is to apply a sticker to the fixture to indicate that it has been changed to operate on 110 - 120 volts which could cause a regular florescent tube to crack or burst when energized and also to indicate which end of the fixture the Line wire is tied to. You did a great job of conveying the process.

Thank you, thank, THANK YOU!! This is the 5th or 6th video for thisLED conversion purpose I've looked at and I FINALLY understand what I need to do. The "old guy" [I are one, too ;-) ] was clear and precise in his presentation, kept referring to the appropriate wire colors, pairings, and placements as he explained the steps he was taking, and did not cover the wires with his palms, wrists, or fingers as happened in so many of the earlier videos I examined with mounting frustration. Let's hear it for the old guy and his gal!
