Thank you for being succinct. I searched several too-drawn-out videos for the information I needed and couldn't get it. You were quick and to the point - without wasting my time. Thank You!

OUTSTANDING explanation! Love how you laid out the bulbs and explained the circuitry. Thanks for a great job. Best I've seen explaining the process.

This is EXACTLY what I was searching for! You explained it and the camera work was excellent! I have a ballast going out in one of the units in the kitchen drop ceiling and want to do this. Thank you for the video!

"Explained in simple terms" is the most perfect description. Before I went in I knew the how and why of the original setup and which option I should choose for the conversion. I had all the parts and tools and the change-over went off without a hitch. Many thanks!

I liked the way you laid out just the bulbs, connectors, and the wire. Made it clearer for me. Thanks

Was looking for this, im doing the exact same retro fit as you did, helped me alot! Thanks! Greetings from Sweden

I just retrofitted the fluorescent fixtures in my garage, but I used GE T8 type B LED tubes, which made it even easier than what was done in this video. With the type B tubes there is no need for the non-shunted lamp holders. You just clip the wires from the ballast, remove the ballast, reconnect the wires directly to the power, and you're done. Oh, one more optional step: add an inline fuse between the hot wire coming in and the live wire end of the fixture to protect someone who might put a fluorescent tube in in the future. (The type B bulbs come with warning labels that the fixture is no longer safe for fluorescent tubes, but not everybody reads labels.)

very well explained Thank Chris

Thanks Chris. This video inspired me to go the retrofit route with single-ended bulbs. The wiring you used was the simplest I've seen during my research. Finished three lamp conversions yesterday in the garage and am extremely pleased with the results.

Excellent job in showing the hookup. I like the way you laid it all out on the bench . I know what my next project is.

I recognize the work of a natural teacher who knows how to use the tools of the teaching trade. Your video has evidence of careful planning, clear presentation, good use of audio-visuals with no fumbling or bad camera work. My ballast-removal project was easier because of your clarity about plug/play vs retrofit, and clear visuals about the wiring. Thanks.

Thank you for the explanation between retro fit and plug and play. I've been confused for months.

Great job. I think I could really use these in the shop. Time to go shopping!

Great video! No BS approach, just informed me of what I needed to know without a giant theatrical presentation. Thank you sir!

Watched another guy fitting one and I have to say you explained and demonstrated it extremely well to someone with limited wiring knowledge! Thankyou sir!

Thank you VERY much for this excellent video. This is my first electrical project and this video has built my confidence enough to do it on my own. Awesome!

This is exactly what i was looking for. The laying out of the setups was super helpful, and explanation was clear and simple. Thank you!

I've looked at a few of these type of vids and your video is by far the most easiest, straight forward way to explain the process... thanks mate

Thank you, useful video. I now know to shop for retrofit replacements.
