I watched your video as it was the first one recommended and wired my fixture as you showed called shunted only to open my bulbs I purchased was for a non-shunted configuration *hot and neutral on one ended. I'm finding out it's harder to find shunted style bulbs on the market so your worthless video is only good if you purchase StarLED bulbs!
Your MUSIC SUCKS. And you should have used a YELLOW wire nut, not a red. The MINIMUM would be 4-18 gage wires not three. A yellow or smaller is required. You also need to address shunted tombstones or someone is going to blow a circuit and the bulbs.
Dear sir, congratulations on the video. I have LGT8258B Preheating start electronic ballast. So far it has worked with 2 T8 2x58W neon tubes - without starter. Suddenly he started flashing and after 5/10 seconds he was dead. I bought 2 V-TAC LED tubes mod. VT-1577.T8.G13.20W I cut off the power supply on the requested side, after installing nothing to do they don't work. To see if the ballast is working, what voltage or current should I find in the output terminal block that powers the tubes? Thank you, thank you very much. Can you help me, thanks.

How much would each bulb capacitor and ballast sell for on eBay for example if you do all of the lights in a movie sound stages it would make it much lighter to carry up and re install
This could be a good video if not for the pounding, intrusive music. Please consider that it adds no instructional value and distracts terribly. If you had a group of students gathered around, would you crank up techno music to the same volume as your voice to compete with you while you're talking? Your presentation is adequate without adding noise. Maybe just one man's opinion. Thanks.
I strutted like a rooster while watching the video, all the way to atwoods and picked up the t8 ballest bypass led lamps. Then I strutted to the music all the way back to my garage where I strutted while I bypassed the ballast and installed the new bulbs. Then I strutted in to show my wife who also heard the music and saw the lights working along with my strutting, and jumped my bones!! Thanks for...well everything!!
Well along with learning how to install ballast bypass tubes, you also learned a new dance move lol. I know what your saying why? Why do we need disco music to learn how to install light tubes? And the robot voice has me feeling a little nervous right now
How does this work when you didn't connect the black wire? My lamp has yellow wires on one end and blue & red wires on the other end. Black to blue & red, white to yellow are tge instructions. .
exactly how are you supposed to hear the instructions with loud annoying music in the back ground that if turned down you do not have any instructions ? Why the HELL do people think adding annoying sound tracks are in any way a positive thing?
Why do people do bypass videos ? no one EVER goes back to ballast after going LED and leaving the ballast in only makes the chance if someone else goes in in the future they will do something stupid. take and extra 4 seconds remove the ballast .. they are worth 1 dollar a pound at scrap yard so that will pay for your extra 4 seconds of labor.
rofl, that 40w corn light isnt even CLOSE to the light output of that 400w metal halide, congrats you just replaced a 24,000 lumen fixture, into a 4-6k lumen fixture.. clap clap.. That LED would need to be around 200w or so.. what a FING joke
This video is for single ended LEDs with the Line (L) and Neutral (N) pins on one end. You have to make sure the tombstones on both ends are non-shunted (the two inner connectors are electrically separate) or you'll have a short circuit. Double ended LEDs have the Line (L) on one end and Neutral (N) on the other.
You lost me at the point of connecting to power. Should there be a black wire involved? You have two white wires. In the video the connections to power seems blocked by hands or not clear. Yes I am a complete layman.
You know this video is almost entirely useless as the dumb shit is using a lamp fixture with a plug on it that has 2 white wires and a green wire ? what fucking moron doesn't use a plug with white black and green like 99.999999% of the world .. the video is rendered useless because it is nearly impossible to follow which wires are power and neutral because the leads are both the same color. This video was not intended to "help" do it your self people it is designed to start a fire and drum up business for licensed technicians to over charge because they are fixing the wiring burnt in the whole house .. ignore this video find a better one as your house not catching on fire would be a better end result then following this asshole. not saying he doesnt know what he is doing its the exact opposite as he can always say you didnt follow the instructions.
