Fluorescent to LED conversion made EASY!

Most lighting these days uses LEDs. They're super-low power, provide good light, and last a long time. But you probably still have some fluorescent lights left. If you're like most people, you haven't quite gotten around to replacing them with LED tubes. You really should replace them though since LED tubes use much less power than fluorescent ones. The trouble is, it's complicated. There many types of fluorescent fixtures and rewiring is often required. So, how do you make it as easy as possible? Join me for a detailed yet simple 3-Step Guide to converting your fluorescent light fixtures to LED!

I bought 30 single ended LED's. So far, I've put 5 icons up on my screen from YT on how to wire them up. After watching you I am going to delete all of them and just leave yours. Wish all the other YT'ers were as good and thorough as you. Thanks.

Finally someone fully explains the difference between shunted and non-shunted and the difference between two types of LED bulbs

[albertoblasquez]

Knowing your stuff is one thing. But knowing how best to explain them is another thing. You did a very good job in this video. You got me so I subscribed! 👍

Just went to Home Depot and got the GE type A/B LEDs. Pulled out the ballasts, joined all the wires on each side, and applied line and neutral to opposite ends. Super easy. No need to worry about wires, tombstones or anything. BTW, Home Depot told me they will not be selling anymore fluorescent bulbs once they sell their current inventory.

I watched many LED conversion videos, AND this is the best. As an engineer, I have to know why then how.

Was hesitant to try this ...but after watching this video I am very confident...clear concise and very well explained. Thanks a million for this. Best regards from Canada 🇨🇦

This was by far the easiest how to understand on this subject. Many I have watched didn't even indicate there were two types of bulbs. Thanks!!

Clear concise information, just done 8 tubes in my garage in less than an hour, thank you.

Thanks to your description of the different types of fluorescent fixtures I was able to determine that mine were shunted and was able to remove the ballast and get the correct bulbs.

Very good discussion about this process. Thanks.

Excellent explanation. I needed to know the difference between shunted and non-shunted (dual ended & single ended). Thanks.

Scotty, you're a great hacker! Smart too. Some research shows that led lights harm the light receiving rods inside our eyes.
