LED light bulbs For The Home

Rated 4.0 regarding 5.0 by YK might be Five performers I accept other reviewers that this tube needs immediate beginner to use properly. Not totally all electronic ballast tend to be - immediate - starter. Before we head to Home Depot take a fast peak inside installation at your ballast. (remove two panel screws above the pipe) suitable electric ballast : has actually (2 and 2) wires for single tube, as an alternative (2 and 3) cables for twin pipes, or generally speaking 2 and (N+1) cables for N tubes. Also called latest generation ballast with real instant start and tend to be more efficient. Incompatible electronic ballast : have actually (2 and 4) cables for single tube, (2 and 6) wires for twin tubes, or generally speaking 2 and 2x(N+1) wires for N pipes. Tend to be popular with previous generation digital ballast, they're more regularly put on listed down fluorescent light fixtures, is and you will be discontinued. Talking about experience. Various other incompatible ballast : appears bigger and body weight heavier must operate with a - beginner - product, They have (1 and 1) wires per pipe. Those are dinosaur generation. Having any electronic ballast in our installation isn't any guarantee we can start these LED tubes. We have two overhead previous-gen fixtures, in cellar and kitchen area, won't illuminate after energy on. Present myself in the home Depot for new accessories, but as 2nd thought I turned for most recent gen ballast. Problem solved. Hint to those want to upgrade for newest gen ballast : for Light-emitting Diode tube or carry on fluorescent. Choose a ballast which also fits tube-size-length and tube-count. Tips eliminate old cable from tube-connector without demolition? - cut old cables leaving two inches quick towards pipe connector. - chuck that cable in a cordless drill turned in reverse, if it slip-on synthetic strip that plastic. - use about couple pound pulling power then turn on the drill engine, one to two rev per second. - view that line slowly unthread out of the wire gap. - i did so that once free-handed, twist-pull plus it worked, better happen with help of a pliers.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Residence Philips 17T8/AMB/48-5000 IFG I am happy with colors Temperature (5000 Kelvin); I replaced 4 fluorescent light bulbs (6500 Kelvin), i possibly could perhaps not spot the various birghtness. Individuals with low-rate, please read whole printing regarding the field and label regarding tube. The fine print using one end for the tube "only use with instant begin ballasts" and Warnings and Cautions in the package. January 7, 2016

Rated 5.0 from 5.0 by DGMAX99 Lamps Work Very Well (So Far...) These lamps actually work very well, providing a suitable ballast is present or set up in conjunction with the lamps. Recently I converted several of my older accessories over utilizing Philips ICN-3P32-N and ICN-4P32-N ballasts/drivers utilizing 9 lamp tubes. The additional ballast, or motorist, is necessary mainly because tubes were created as a primary replacement (connect & play) for T8 fluorescent tubes. LED replacement pipes that eliminate the additional ballast have actually an internal/built-in ballast/driver in each pipe. The lumens rating (2100) is large with a wattage spec of 17W, in comparison to other LED replacement tubes. The cost, while less expensive than the similar Light-emitting Diode replacement pipes, could be slightly better. Ideally the cost will reduce much more associated with product is sold. A list of suitable ballasts/drivers can be seen right here: January 1, 2016

Ranked 1.0 from 5.0 by BulbBuyer327 used this light bulb in 3 different model florescent accessories without result Tried this bulb in 3 various design florescent fixtures without result. Are returning and trying the more costly design. April 22, 2016

Ranked 1.0 regarding 5.0 by DeaneG did not work with Philips own electric ballast not a flicker toward on when set up in a fixture with a nearly-new Philips (!) electronic ballast. Back once again to the shop they're going, FEIT equivalents here I come. April 24, 2016

Rated 5.0 away from 5.0 by Boris Great Bulb. Works together with instant start ballast. This really is an excellent replacement light bulb that works great with new immediate begin ballast. I got myself 130 bulbs and 3 didn't work. I think which is not also bad, thinking about easy returns with Residence Depot . The product quality is good, they need to do an improved quality-control when it comes to light that are priced at $10 i am aware it is a bargain compare to your usual price of $20 - $25 a bulb, yet still in the amount i purchased appears a beet pricey. Hopefully will save adequate money within the next 2 years to cover them. March 15, 2016

Rated 2.0 regarding 5.0 by Southshore74 way too much hassle i recently bought 2 among these to see just what all hoopla ended up being all about, these not working. Well I see why there only $9 a bit. You are doing must get a different fast start ballast. Mine did not work both, i simply installed 20 LED T8 pipes from Amazon without issues, definitely we eliminated all ballasts and hard wired all of them. I was thinking these would work the same way, son was I incorrectly. These bulbs are of high quality and I also believe they'd work great, but simply maybe not really worth the time and effort of setting up a fresh ballast whenever point of led is to be getting rid of old ballasts. Will be going back these. March 7, 2016
