Well done! Love that stripper! 😜 Definitely must add one of those to my toy collection…

Great video, good to see the wiring being done and not fast forwarded thru it.

I cannot find the kit you used in this video. I've looked at Home Depot and Toggled online and they only have the conversion kits with 4 bulbs meant to replace an 8ft light. Can you comment on where you got this kit or the part number? The link you provided is not for the Toggled brand. Thanks!

@AmiiboJuice 6 месяцев назад

Any reason you can't just buy LED bulbs and place them in? Does this have to be done with all light fixtures that aren't ballast?

@Daddicated 6 месяцев назад

I think they sell kits that you can install with the ballast. The problem then is the ballast wastes more energy. By removing the ballast you get more energy saved.

@davidb.8948 6 месяцев назад

@@Daddicatedtheres a company that i just heard from that sells the LED replacement bulb with nothing to do but install the LED bulb where the previous fluorescent bulb was. Does this sound correct?

@Daddicated 6 месяцев назад

@@davidb.8948 That is correct there are those as well but the problem is because you still have the ballast it still requires more energy to use the light therefore if you want the ultimate savings with the LED bulb its best to remove the ballast.

@johanerasmus2522 День назад

Did you know, that you can fit the led bulb only in one way? The side which there is a description on the end goes to the side where the power is connected. If you do it wrong, you short out the led and will trip the power and the led bulb is ruined.

@TargaWheels 6 месяцев назад

I've seen a couple videos of guys doing it without any kind of kit. Basically removing the ballast, rewire with existing wires, put in LED bulbs. I thought LED bulbs had green caps on the ends? Not sure.

@Daddicated 6 месяцев назад

I think if they rewire it properly then you are probably right you can probably do it without the kit. The kit just makes it easier and more idiot proof with instructions but if you know what you are doing you probably can do it without the kit.

@seanl6885 5 месяцев назад

The tubes in this video are single-ended lights, meaning that both the hot wire and the neutral wire go to one end of the tube. There are double-ended (aka dual-ended) tubes in the market, if you want to avoid the kit.

@2jimmy423 5 месяцев назад

hi。 when Fluorescent lamp into led do i need new ballast

@Daddicated 5 месяцев назад

It depends on the LED that you buy. Some you can do with existing ballast and some you need to bypass it.

@n310ea 7 дней назад

On fluorescent lights, if you take one bulb out the other one won't work very well, is that the same with LED's?

@Daddicated 7 дней назад

I’m not sure I never tried but I think it might something to do with how it’s wired.

@kirkhere2711 3 месяца назад

The install kit in your description says it works with the existing tombstones, no need to change them, so...? Also, the description says only bulbs are included, no tombstones. So?

@Daddicated 3 месяца назад

I originally bought my kit from Home Depot and I couldn't find the same kit on amazon to post in the description so I would follow the instruction of your kit.

@itsio7188 4 месяца назад

How can you test a led bulb to see if jts good

@Daddicated 4 месяца назад

Not sure I understand what you mean. Why do you need to test it, if the light isn’t working anymore then it’s probably bad and needs to be replaced.

@itsio7188 4 месяца назад

@@Daddicated at work we have different types of, what I assume, old LED's. Miscellaneously thrown into a box.

@williamgates4399 4 месяца назад

Not all light fixtures have covers.

@Daddicated 4 месяца назад

Well then it’s even easier.

@revdev1032 2 месяца назад

Could have just bought a whole new LED flat panel or a led shop light over an LED tube. But I know the LED tube is cost effective

@Daddicated 2 месяца назад

Yeah I could of but this was probably easier to do.

@revdev1032 2 месяца назад

I had got Philips led tubes for my shop’s Storage space which work on a rapid start, but for a garage, I had to put a new LED fixture because it didn’t work with led tubes (Since it was a F40 t12) I got the wrong size tube and i don’t want to take lots of time removing the ballast, the new fixture in my garage puts out 8000 lumens (4000k)

@user-propositionjoe 4 месяца назад

Don't you need to ground it?

@Daddicated 3 месяца назад

Just follow the instruction of your kit. Mine didn't require for ground.

@jameskelson1891 Месяц назад

At my local store, buying a whole new LED fixture is cheaper and certainly much quicker and easier than trying to do a conversion.

@Daddicated Месяц назад

I didn’t compare so I’m not aware of which option is cheaper and easier. But that’s good to know.

LED bulbs last longer

@planeguy737-1 3 месяца назад

not always

@Daddicated 3 месяца назад

Yeah I feel like they design them to fail after a couple of years at least that’s been my experience with led bulbs not sure about the tubes yet. We’ll see how long this one will last.

@planeguy737-1 3 месяца назад

especially fluorescents on preheat ballasts, the tubes can last a very long time
