How are these installed, Positive at one end of fixture and Neg at the other, OR one Tombstone with both Neg and Pos opposing Tombstone inert?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/132862040@N03/17175170098/Here's a sample wiring diagram. Your's may vary. It may require 1 pin to have power on each end. Be sure to note what you wired in after you install so next time around you can easily swap out tubes without modifying the wires again. Wire nuts should be used on all unused wire for safety, I'd tape over the wire nuts to be sure.

There isn't any negative or positive on 120 vac . Both pins on one end of the tube is connected to(black) hot 120vac---- the other pins on Far end the (white)neutral wire. The power supply inside the bulb converts it to vdc . Connect the wire on each end together first then connect one end to black the other far end to white . If some one puts a regular flour bulb in it later-- no harm --there isn't a path to conduct.

First you remove the ballast, leave the wiring to the end connectors as long as possible, to connect to the Line 120 vac on one side of the bulb, and the other side of the bulbs will connect to the neutral line.

Clip the wires close to the ballast. Wire one end of fixture positive, one end negative. There are lots of youtube videos that help explain it.

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

Anthony, I'm a bit slow on installing these, I bought 8 fixtures last year and another 2 recently. T8 fixtures are supposed to work well in low temperatures (20 F) so I'm trusting the liturature I read and what I've heard from coworkers enought to buy 10 of these fixtures. Sorry I don't yet have first hand experience.

Not sure why there are two sets. I wites them together and it works. Positive to positive and negatives together.

There is a selector switch on the bottom of the fixture. One side is white, the other is color. The middle position is "off."

I have no idea. The fixture is very beautiful. My husband had no problem with the installation. Everyone and I mean everyone when viewing the fixture makes the statement that they want one and asks where I purchased it. I doubt, if you purchase the fixture, you will not regret it. I know this does not answer your question but hope it resolves any concerns you may have.

If it is as the one pictured, underneath is a hex head screw. Simply loosen it and pull fixture out from the wall. Hope this is of some help.Paul

Sounds like a loose wire. I did have another brand of led side marker light that did that. After I tried everything I reversed polarity and it worked. Just a though if you haven't found the cause.

Not easy. I had a friend do it for me and then I was bound and determined to do it my self. Turn to left. Disengage the pins, by turning until they let go. Look and see s shaped part inside bulb. Line pins up with light fixture. Make sure you turn off fixture. Good luck.

They have a lip that screws it in place, only thing is that they don't fit snug on 4x4 post. You need to place shims on three sides for firm fit. Also I wouldn't recommend this set of lights as only one of the 4 worked for a short time. Replaced batteries and still didn't work. They look nice but that's all.

The fixture has a bracket on both sides of which you can see one of them on this image. Attach a piece of light duty change and you can hang them anywhere.

first you have to make sure the led's are 12v,then there should be markings for pos./neg.If they are new they should be equipped with connectors or go to the autoparts store and they will help.

Hi Joanna, They just screw to the post with (2) screws. I had to modify my post because the solar light would not fit my post. But this light is bright and lasts all night long as I have this lighting up my fountain. Good luck!!!!Mark

yes there are two wires one positive and one negative. The wires are relatively short so you may have to add some length to them. I soldered a longer piece to them and put them on my camper about two foot above the normal signal lights. They really make a difference.

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

I haven't had to change one yet, but I believe the whole lower assembly (silver ring and glass) twists into place on a mounting bracket. I assume you twist it slightly one way or the other and it will drop from the bracket and reveal the bulb. Hang on to it, seems I remember it being heavier than you might expect.

I don't know what your fixture looks like but I have 3 of these in my bathrooms. I just added one to our porch light and one to the front yard light. They are perfect and I look forward to them lasting for years! sorry if I am not much assistance

The instructions that cane with them said you had to re wire the fixture. Remove the starter and balast as they are not needed. I did that and they work great.
