so, if i have a two flourescent bulb fixture, when i pull out the ballast, do i series or parallel these two led lamps, and how do i do whatever i nee

You don't need to pull out the ballast, just unplug the power line to it, there is a wiring harness to wire one bulb to the other bulb and then you plug one bulb into the ballast power plug. Directions are available when you purchase the bulbs, just let us know you purchased and we can email them to you.

I don't have the tech sheets or information on the ballast but I have it indicated that up to 10 F54T5-HO lamps can be daisy chained.

Yes you'll need 2 ballast one for each light, If you check Amazon site there are packages that contain the ballast and bulbs together.

Since these are led, they will draw a lot less amps than regular lights, u can run these in series. If u want them to turn on with a separate switch from your already lights, then run positive wire from battery to fuse, then to switch, then to light. U can share the common ground from the other lights.

Yup! I've used both digital and analog ballasts and the bulbs don't really matter much. If your current ballasts work with your set up (as in plays nice with sensors/daytime/auto-on modes) and the wattage matches; this should be a plug and play installation. There's plenty of places on google that can help you out if you get stuck. Best of luck!

If you have wiring there, it is no problem. I installed three of these in series to replace two flourescent fixtures. Onehad a bad ballast and would only half light. I also do not like disposing of 40 watt tubes. I put in LED lamps that draw8 watts apiece so 96 watts total versus 4 times 40 or 160 watts. They are also much brighter. If you have wires on either sideof the mirror, or you can get the wiring there somehow, then you can install these fixtures.Steve Jahn

I put it in a 3 way lamp fixture (it doesn't work as a 3 way bulb) and it works fine, no problems. As far as safety, from what I know, there shouldn't be an issue because of the way LED operates on electricity using a micro-chip. It doesn't require ballast or dimmable ballast to regulate the flow of electricity to the lamp (bulb).

These lamps use a GU24 bulb, which is a two-prong type of bulb. Very Expensive! About $7.50 each at Home Depot. I bought two converters on Ebay for about $1.25 (including shipping) that change it from two-prong to a standard screw in bulb. I plan to switch to screw-in CFL's when the current bulbs burn out.Not sure what type of LED you want to use, but this info. will get you started.

Probably, nothing would happen. When the fixture is converted to light the LED tube, one end has the black or hot wire, and the other end has the white or neutral wire. A fluorescent tube does not have a normally conductive path for the electricity to flow from one end of the lamp to the other. The fluorescent fixture has a ballast that uses high voltage to blast a charge through the tube via the gasses that are inside the tube. Any person that removes an LED tube from the fixture should notice that it is not a standard fluorescent tube; the differences are obvious.

Like David Ishmael said, wire them in parallel. I have two of these connected to one light and it works as expected. Be prepared for a bit of work to get these in and looking good. I think the time and effort was worth it.

It's 5-1/2" at it's widest - sorry the base is 5-1/2" x 20". I am not sure about running both bulbs as I switch between the two. My assumption would be that the fixture would be rated to run both lamps. There are two cords/plugs running from the fixture & the lamps are switched individually (hence separate cords/plugs). So I think you would be fine.

Swap the ballast to the other side. If the problem follows the ballast. Then the ballast is bad. Be sure ALL the connections are good including the battery connection.

There are no "bulbs" as such as in a regular florescent fixture. There are two long rows of LED's, one on each side. I don't know the exact number of LED's, but they are spaced about every 3/4 inch, so there are a lot of them! ANOTHER OPTION: You can buy LED "tubes" to fit in an existing fixture. This requires some rewiring of the old fixture. In that case, each tube contains many LED's.

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

From what I understand these LEDs arent supposed to go out like that in segments. Each bulb should not effect the others, I would return the whole thing.

The cables are dimensioned so you could pull the full amperage. I think there are twin cables for ease of wiring two sets of LEDs. If in doubt though, hook up your load to one cable and see if it gets warm, or just splice both cables into a single cable.

Yes, you do have to wire around old ballast. It is no longer needed. I was able to plug the new ones right into the existing switch. Instructions were included. The first one took awhile to figure out because I did not want to damage anything. The next 6 lights were a breeze. One of the best things I've done to our motorhome. It seems we were always buying new bulbs and had one or two out. One bulb per fixture is OK. In some rooms I have two per fixture. Wifes bathroom where she wants more light. Have had them for 2-3 years no problem. Total of 12 bulbs in 8 fixtures. They work great. A little expensive compared to old tube replacements but haven't replaced any either. Would highly recommend these. Yes, you do have to wire around old ballast. It is no longer needed. I was able to plug the new ones right into the existing switch. Instructions were included.
