Can I Replace Fluorescent Tubes With LED Tubes Without Changing the Fixture?
Replacing fluorescent tubes with LED tubes is a common upgrade for better energy efficiency and longer lifespan.
There are three main types of LED tubes:
- Plug and Play (Type A): Directly replace your existing fluorescent tubes without rewiring. They work with compatible ballasts.
- Ballast Bypass (Type B): These require you to bypass or remove the ballast from the fixture.
- Hybrid (Type A+B): They can work with or without a ballast.
Always check the LED tube specifications and your existing fixture type before replacement.
