Getting rid of the ballast and the T8 fluorescent bulbs that burn out and retrofitting and converting to LED was the best thing I have done. It was easy and the LED light is fantastic! Before doing this project, switching over and converting to LED was confusing because I didn't know what was actually happening when you retrofit from T8 fluorescent to LED lights. I watched a bunch of videos but none of them described what was actually happening with the circuits. They just cut a bunch of wires without explaining clearly. I made this video on how to convert and retrofitting to T8 LED's in the hopes that others could understand what and why and how. Converting and retrofitting to LED lights is not that hard to do yourself once you understand what is happening.
GOOD NEWS TO TELL YOU !!
The technology has changed since making this video! I refreshed the links below.....The LED bulbs I have listed below can be installed anyway you prefer. They're called "hybrid"LED. They can be plug and play.....just remove your old florescent and install them...... or..... you can remove the ballast to save even more power and wire it with the tombstones (listed below). They are great!
It's been a few years now and I definitely prefer the 5000K over the 4000K. It's just a great work light to use in a work shop. Hope that helps making your decision!

The biggest problem i have is that the T8 fluorescent setup kills the radio in my shop instantly any time i turn it on. The number 1 thing i want working in my shop is the radio. My question is will the radio work if i switch the T8 + ballasts out for LED's?

@@rockymountainman7 I think these led light would kill your radio, here is the reason, most of these lights did not pass the EMC and EMI testing, has electromagnetic interference problem.

I liked the way you laid out just the bulbs, connectors, and the wire. Made it clearer for me. Thanks

@NZMantaGSi 4 года назад

Its different again for the older type that uses starters and magnetic ballasts, and even with the electronic ballast shown in the video there's often an extra 'preheat' wire used to warm up the lamp filaments prior to ignition which isn't shown here. Clear as mud? :)

@chrisrepp8608 4 года назад

I just retrofitted the fluorescent fixtures in my garage, but I used GE T8 type B LED tubes, which made it even easier than what was done in this video. With the type B tubes there is no need for the non-shunted lamp holders. You just clip the wires from the ballast, remove the ballast, reconnect the wires directly to the power, and you're done. Oh, one more optional step: add an inline fuse between the hot wire coming in and the live wire end of the fixture to protect someone who might put a fluorescent tube in in the future. (The type B bulbs come with warning labels that the fixture is no longer safe for fluorescent tubes, but not everybody reads labels.)

Your video has evidence of careful planning, clear presentation, good use of audio-visuals with no fumbling or bad camera work. My ballast-removal project was easier because of your clarity about plug/play vs retrofit, and clear visuals about the wiring. Thanks.

Just curious how do you like this light in the kitchen? I am looking at replacing the entire fixture in my kitchen due to the grease build up, but the led fixtures I find online do not include a light diffuser and I think I would prefer one with a diffuser.

@craigstephens1995 4 года назад

@spocksvulcanbrain 5 лет назад

One thing to be aware. I used the replacement bulbs from Costco which still requires the ballast. Like you, I find the light superior to the florescents. However I also have a motion detector on mine so that when I enter the garage via the house door or via car, the lights turn on for me. Works great EXCEPT.... when off, one light from each fixture (of two like yours) stays partially lite. The one bulb never completely turns off. It's about the brightest of a nightlight so I use it as such. Let's me see what's in the garage so I don't trip or not see something before I enter far enough for the motion detector to kick on. I contacted the manufacturer and was told this is how the bulbs work if there's a motion detector on the circuit. They turn off completely if just a regular switch. Just more info for anyone deciding on replace bulb only vs remove ballast options. But I agree - definitely do replace with LED. I was replacing bulbs about every 8 to 12 months. Now it's been years and I haven't had to replace or fix anything.

@robertshorthill4153 3 года назад

Chris, several weeks ago I happened on a bunch of these so called Plug and Play LED tubes (type A) they didn't work because I had already cut and removed ballasts. So I took them back and got type B tubes that get wires from both ends. Super simple to get lights that work. The hardest part is getting the cover back up cuz I only have two hands. The Frau doesn't want to even come in my shop cuz the chaos bugs her.(?) My third hand is a 2" piece of tape, but my lights work and no ballasts. My point of this is to look for type B or whatever is driven from the one end. I prefer the double ended tubes. Cheers. Bob

@perceive8159 Год назад

Just changed over my 800 Sq/ft garage ( machine shop) to led 5000k with out the ballast, got a steal on 20 new fixtures for 85 dollars! I installed 16 fixtures/ two tubes for each fixture. There are no dark areas in the shop now and that's not an under statement! Like your video shows very easy to install and made a big impact on the power bill. Should have done this years ago 😎

@chrisnotap Год назад

That's great!! I still like the 5000k ones. I swapped them out for the 4000's just to try again but went back a day later to the 5000's.

@dennish4304 5 лет назад

You can also get Dual or Double-ended tubes. No messing with the Tombstones (Lamp holders) Just cut out the Ballast and wire hot to one side, neutral to the other. Doesn't matter which side although I prefer to keep the original hot and neutral wires the same. You can install a dual ended tube safely in any direction. If you accidentally install a fluorescent tube in the rewired dual ended fixture nothing will happen. In a single end fixture it will short out.

@Spreadswings Год назад

I believe shunted tombstones are recommended when wiring dual ended tubes from opposite sides.

@marcmccord5085 Год назад

The industry is going away from single ended LED lamps. Dual ended are so much easier to install, and much safer.

@beachbum4691 Год назад

@@sl1237 They operate independently. You can either take out a lamp, or cap off the leads to that lamp. No fire hazard. BUT... dual ended lamps are much better. Easier to install and safer since you don't have the power and neutral to the same socket. Power to one end of the lamp and neutral to the other. And you don't have to put the lamps in a certain way.

@timb7814 3 года назад

Excellent video! One thing you missed is that the "Lumens" rating of each bulb is what determines its brightness, NOT the color rating (e.g. 4,100K). You can have two different bulbs, each 4,100K for example, but with different Lumens ratings (different brightness). If one bulb is rated at 2,500 Lumens it will provide more light than a bulb that is rated at 2,200 Lumens for example. The 4,100K is the "color" or tone of the light. It has nothing to do with the amount of light generated from the bulb. Also, it's not clear if you use T12 size lamp holders at the ends, or a different size?

Hi Chris, I've been looking for bulbs that would replace my old 40w 2 bulb florescent light that I have in a downstairs office that's used as indirect lighting. As a former electrician (now retired) I have done replacements of LED for old florescent lighting for some time now, but in the past they've always been way too expensive and for the average home owner those prices were out of sight, so TY for this video, Also I'd like to bring up one point that was over looked for the average DIY'er and that's to make sure the power to the light is turned off! If you are comfortable just shutting off a light switch - place tape over the switch, I also put a small key tag that says "DO NOT TURN ON!" Again TY for this great video. Cheers!
