The Most Simple Step-By-Step Process Of LED Tube Light Installation

The Setting up LED tube lights is a great method for saving money on electricity and bring out potentially hazardous fluorescent lights out of your home or office. However, the majority LED tube lights on the market today can not just be right away installed in a current fluorescent fixture. You will have to make some simple alterations to the fixture to properly deploy the bulbs. Luckily is, that installing a LED tube light in a current fluorescent fixture is comparatively simple.

Fluorescent fixtures are created to support a specific styles and proportions of fluorescent tube. A fluorescent tube is built into a fluorescent lighting mechanism which consists of two or three major components: (1) the fluorescent bulb (fluorescent bulb or tube), (2) the ballast, and (3) the starter system. In addition, the system for a tube lamp contains a lamp holder and a switch. Dependent on the particular fluorescent lighting system, the starter may be a replaceable component, a starter may not be necessary, or the starter performance may be integrated into the ballast. The starting performance may also rely on the actual design of the fixture. To retrofit a fluorescent light bulb to support a LED tube light, the ballast (and the starter if a single one is present) must be cut off.

Be sure that the LED replacement tube lights are the suitable size for the furnishing. Also, remember when servicing a fluorescent fixture or lamp for any purpose, electrical power to the whole fixture should be cut off.

You might need a few simple tools, such as a wire cutter and wire stripper (often incorporated into the same tool), a couple of pliers, a screwdriver, and a few wire nuts for reconnecting any leads once you have detached the ballast.

Once the old bulbs are removed from the lamp holders and the electricity to the fixture is turned off, you will likely have to remove the reflector that is located behind the bulbs and provides a casing for the wiring and ballast that are situated right behind it. Typically, it is fairly easy to remove the reflector or cover, but if it is not apparent how to do this, you should resort to the information from the bulb manufacturer.

If the fixture has an electronic ballast, you just need to get rid of that and then wire the power right for the lamp grips, completing one circuit for each fixture. This is simple, and typically you can use the current wire in the fixture and then just add on some wire nuts. If you have an older fixture with a permanent magnetic ballast and starter, you will have to remove or open the starter and remove or cut the connection of the permanent magnetic ballast.

Once the ballast (as well as starter, if one was existing) have been taken out and the wires reconnected, to accomplish an electrical connection for each bulb, change the reflector or cover over the wiring and the place where the ballast was located, and the LED tube lights can be inserted in the end sockets. Contrary to fluorescent bulbs that do not have a top or bottom, a LED tube light could have an evident top and bottom, with metallic heatsink located on the backside of the cylinder and the LEDs visible under a lens on the side that will be aimed towards the area to be lighted. Place the cover back on the fixture (if there was one) and turn on the electricity. Turn on the switch and if you have done all the things properly, you must have a good or better lighting using approximately half the energy and last for as long as 50,000 hours or more.
