Summary

[edit]
Description
English: How to replace linear fluorescent light bulb (T8/G13) with LED tube.
  • 1) Disconnect the power. First test your voltage probe and only then check that voltage is missing in your lamp.
  • 2) Remove old power supply and fluorescent light bulb from your lamp:
    • 2.1) Europe: disconnect wires from ballast output and remove the ballast;
    • 2.2) America: disconnect wires from tombstones and remove ballast
  • 3) Decide, which side will be energized and connect it with feeding terminals.
    • 3.1) Europe: mark the polarity on wires between AC line and tombstones, e.x. by shrink tubes
    • 3.2) America: remove the shunt from tombstone and make it 2-pole (hot and neutral)
  • 4) Install the cover back and LED tube. Follow, that power supply side on LED tube is matching with energized side on lampholder.
  • NB! 230 Volts are enough to kill you! Having any doubt, ask the help from electrician!
