Q: Can I Replace Fluorescent Tubes With LED Tubes Without Changing the Fixture?

In many cases, yes, but it depends on the type of LED tube and your current fixture. Some LED tubes are 'plug and play' while others require a rewire.

Q: How Do I Know What Size LED Tube I Need?

Measure your existing tube and match the length and wattage. T8 and T5 are the most common sizes.

Q: Do I Need an Electrician to Install LED Tubes?

It depends, plug-and-play LEDs usually don't need an electrician, but ballast bypass installations often do.
