Rewiring fluorescent fixture for LED

LED lighting represents the latest advancement in the lighting industry today. These innovative bulbs offer numerous benefits due to their unique operation compared to traditional fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. Notably, LEDs are exceptionally durable and boast an extended lifespan while consuming significantly less energy than other types of bulbs available in the market.

One of the most remarkable advantages of LEDs is their longevity, lasting up to 80% longer than standard bulbs, providing illumination for an impressive 30,000 to 50,000 hours. Additionally, LED bulbs are highly efficient in their energy usage, converting the majority of electricity into light and minimizing wastage as heat. 

The versatility of LED lighting is another highlight, as almost all lighting fixtures can accommodate LED bulbs. To ensure compatibility with a fluorescent lighting fixture, look for “ballast compatible” LED bulbs that can work with the existing ballasts. 

Alternatively, a ballast bypass conversion is an option. A ballast bypass conversion involves rewiring the lighting fixture to bypass the ballast. The advantage of this approach is that there’s no need to replace the ballast when converting from fluorescent to LED lighting
