Anyone replaced old fluorescent tubes for new LED tubes, without changing the fitting? T8 type.
Not impressed with the complete LED strip fittings, as many have failed, and like the idea of changing only the tube (and removing ballast and starter if needed or worthwhile) on some fluorescent lights.
I gather there are options;
1) Remove ballast and starter, and make one end of the fitting supply both L and N.
2) Remove ballast and starter, and make one end supply L, and the other end N.
3) Leave ballast, swap starter, and swap tube.
Any recommendations on what to use?
