Updating Father-In-Laws shop lighting and this is without a doubt the best video I could find. Very well done sir, Thank you!
So much better than other videos on this topic with more views! It isn’t hard and this is a very straightforward explanation.
Thank You. This video is very straight forward and to the point. I have 8 of these fixtures and watched 10 similar videos before seeing yours. I was not 100% confident about performing this task until I watched this video. Thanks again.

Worked great for me. Like others have commented, probably should put wire nuts on the ends of the two leftover wires to prevent shorting out to the metal of the lamp.
Finally! A straight forward video for single pin ballast bypass. Worked perfectly! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. The presentation is great, the explanation is well paced/concise and the videos illustrating your work made it all very easy to understand/follow. If you have basic electric knowledge, this video is a homerun. Thank you!
FINALLY !! A video that was explained straight forward and to the point. I’ve watched so many others I’m cross eyed. They were absolutely no help. The “experts” should go back and delete them before someone gets electrocuted. This is the best. Thank you !!
I have to say thank you. Thus video made it simple. I just bypassed three 8 footers in less than an hour from start to finish
Simple, quick, to the point explanation. The best explanation I found to do this. Now I need to do this to lights that are connected. Thank you sir for this excellent video!
Thanks. Worked like a charm. Much better than other videos that still left it unclear to me.
You gave the perfect description and now you just made it so easy... thank u for the great video
Best video I could find, was the only similar single pin fixture compared to mine. very helpful
What needs to be done with the leftover black and white wires? Should they be capped?
Excellent video. I've struggled to find info on bypassing this particular wiring style!
thank you, followed your directions, easy, worked great.
👍👍👍👍 Simple easy to understand instructions.
simple and straight to the point.........thanks
Exactly the instructions I needed for our type ballast. Thank you so much!
Excellent video sir!
Should we wire nut or tape the black and white wires cut and not being used or is that why you made them the neutral line?
I added wire nuts as a precaution anyway. But VERY good video.
Thank you Eddy!! Great video explained perfect worked well for me!! you are a good man Brother God Bless You !! 👍🇺🇸✌: )
Thank you very much for this info!!!
HELLO great video i removed my ballast but I have a old 96 INCH FLOURESCENT tube with one terminal at each end..I only have ONE BULB 8 foot in the fixture..do all LED have two prongs? Do i need new 2 prong horseshoes as my horse shows only have one pin on each end..my ballast had one white, one black,(ON ONE END OF BALLAST) and one blue wire at other end ballast..please advise..thanks
Not click bait! Finally.
I ordered T8's at a trade show. For months, I got constant phone calls from the ELS sales team, trying to sell me more. Getting rid of the ELS sales force was like trying to get rid of herpes. I started off answering the calls and explaining that I had not had time to clear the floor of my building and rent the man lift required to replace my current bulbs. The calls persisted. Think of 'your car's warranty' type calls. I stopped answering. So then the salesman decided that if I don't have time or inclination to answer his calls, he would come by my place. Ugg. I crawled out of a piece of heavy equipment I was repairing and explained to him (again) the situation of not having time to clear the floor and put up the new bulbs. I even pointed out the new, unopened box of ELS bulbs next to the door where they had sat for months. When comparing the box to my existing fixtures, he realized that I had the wrong bulbs! Thank goodness I didn't do all that work only to find it out myself. So he ordered the right ones. And they were actually cheaper than the wrong bulbs- good news! So he ordered a few more to make up the difference in what I originally paid for. Better news! Then the calls started coming from the ELS office in Wichita, Kansas. YOU OWE US MONEY! I called back and left a clear, concise, profanity laced message explaining the situation. The sales manager called me back and told me sorry, they were wrong, he had had nothing but troubles with the new office manager and all would be taken care of. Wonderful. Don't call me again. I'll call you if I ever want more of your bulbs. But I wont. Flash forward a couple months and, surprise- my account is in arrears. I am sent a notice of over due bill for the charges that were wrong in the first place. I left another, less clear, less concise and even more profanity strewn message for them late last night. Fortunately, I still haven't taken the time to put up the ELS bulbs. I want to return them and never have anything to do with this company ever again. My experience with this company has been very negative, to say the least.
What if the fixture also has a an emergency battery pack installed along with the normal ballast? What is the wiring config if we want to remove the ballast but keep utilizing the battery pack?
Awesome info sir thank you ☺️
Need a wire nut on the coiled black and white wires as they will be live
vary helpfull .. thanks for tha video !!
What do you do if you don't have a ground wire coming out of your attic with the hot (black) & (white) neutral wires?
First off, I'm not an electrician, & know very little about wiring stuff.
Would you please explain where to hook up the ground on this light fixture? Thanks
Thank tou
So, at the "fixed end" (that end with non spring-loaded tombstones) you have non-shunted tombstones...and at the other end (that end with spring-loaded tombstones) you have shunted (joined) tombstones. Am I correct? The kits I see today (eg. Jesled) offer 8' FA8 single pin double-ended LED replacements with non-shunted tombstones supplied for both ends. I was just hoping you might have some insight concerning this. Thank-you.
Very giood video! Can I assume that those tombstones were shunted tombstones?
So the led tubes required are the ones powered from both ends, correct?
That is correct.
I only have 1 black wire, 1 white wire, 1 red wire and 1 blue. What do I do?
Jeff sent me ty
Don't you need to change fuse to led starter tube fuse?
My Fluorescent only has power at one end but uses a 2 pin each side tube
I do not have enough wire from one side of the tombstones, does it matter what size cable to use ?
@Lucas Cunningham wire nut a pigtail
I just place new leds T8/T12 tubes in today. They replaced the older fluorescent tubes. I flicked the switch and they worked fine. Should I be worried?
Most likely you bought "type A" replacement led bulbs, which are designed to work with existing ballast. Type B led bulbs are for bypassing/removing the old ballast and are powered directly by the 110v line voltage. Type B are supposed to be more efficient because ballasts consume some energy to convert the voltage. Sorry for the 2 year late reply.
Do you sell a 4 foot version?
Do u have a link where I can order these?
Go to Home Depot!
You never show the removal of either wire at each end. So you don't know what's going on there. You never even show the colored wires....id you take them out? where were they

This is clearly NOT a good video for the average Joe
This is so straight forward and to the point a 6 year old could do it.
And why not?
