My old ballast has only 2 yellow wires on the common side. This new ballast has 2 yellow &amp; 2 blue on that side. Do I just use the 2 yellow wires?

No you have to use all the wires. Unlike your old ballast when one light went out they both did. This ballast has separate wires for each lamp. Look on the ballast label for the diagram that tells what colored wires go to one tube and what colors for the other. You'll have to clip the wires on one end of the lamp fixture where the two sockets are joined together. TIP: Make sure you leave a generous length of wire coming from the sockets to work with.

Yes it will. I only replaced one side and rewired the fixture, and removed the ballast. So I only run one bulb per fixture. But you can run two. You will have to rewire the fixture. I did it with 14 gage solid black on one end white on the other. I love my lights. If you get the current version you will think the are to long but it will fit. You just stick one end in and bend the middle till you get the other nipple in and it will flex.back up.Remember you only need direct electrical connection for it to work.Let me know if you have more questions.Roby

Good day, I purchased some of this model LED tube from this particular company and the tubes work well. Realize that LED fixtures are NOT compatible with fluorescent ballasts, so you cannot plug them directly into a pre-existing fixture. The ballast must be removed or you may "hot wire" them around the ballast. Different manufacturers wire differently. There are four prongs: two on each end. You only need two of those prongs. Either the two on one end or the same two on opposite ends. I am currently on the road, so I cannot look at this particular tube to tell you how to wire it, but if you say you have "hot-wired" and it works, you have picked the correct wiring configuration. Yes, it is wired directly, no ballast. That's the way LEDs work. Hopefully this message has been some help or, at least, reassures you. Good luck. Bob

I believe you are asking; "do these lamps need the ballast"? The answer is no. The instructions provided tell you to bypass the ballast. That will apply 120 VAC to one end of the lamp and the neutral wire is applied to the other end. Wire Nuts are provided to help with making the connections. One more very important item is: TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE FIXTURE while making wiring changes. Thank you for your support, Nature's Electric Inc.

Yes it will work...All ballasts are the same set up ...just different wattage

It replaces the light and the ballast is no longer needed. The stock ballast powers the fluorescent/neon bulb that you won't be using anymore. The new LED doesn't require the ballast, you just toss the old ballast. This is a great setup, inexpensive and fairly easy job.

Yep, should work fine. I'm no engineer, so I don't know if running with only one light will cause wear on the ballast or anything like that. You could always get 2 different lights (like one 'moon' light, or something like that) to tweak the spectrum and/or reduce the light output, if that's what you are trying to do.

you will have to bypass ballast completely, especially if installing more then one, mine included instructions

Carlton good question, the instructions are a bit confusing but fear not its pretty simple. The fixture is Positive on one end and negative on the other for the LED, so cut all your wire as close as possible the ballast or starter box as some call it and remove the ballast. Connect all wires on one end of the fixture to the black input power wire and the wire on the other end to the white wire making sure every wire nut is tight and secure put cover on install LED bulbs and you are good to go. Also have a little small wire handy because sometime the white wire going to the tombstones from the ballast will be too short when cut from the ballast. Also there are a couple of You Tube video on how to do this. Good Luck. Shane

You have to remove the electric ballast from the hardware.(cut the wires and remove from unit) Also, the electrical wires from one end of the led's are not needed anymore.

Yes ,i did it just worked fine. my ballast is for 600Wthe bulb works in 100% 75% and 50%!

You can daisy chain as many as you have. It is just a pass through.No info on the ballast

For my fusion the ballast connected to the stock cable for my headlight unit. I purchased these a while ago and can't remember if it came with any other cables. I'm sure if you email the seller he or she can answer that question for you :)

This Ballast is AMP Style connection, check your d2s if its Amp Style or any other special connection.

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

hi, im not sure what the yellow wire ism mine only have two wires blue and brown

It is called a "TCP 4001 Hardwire Base for Circline Ballast." I do not believe there is any circuitry in the base. The base seems to just be a socket to feed the 2 pins 120VAC.
