Basic Tools/Materials Needed:
| 1. | Ladder, 3 to 5 steps, depending on your ceiling height |
| 2. | Screw Drivers, Big and Small, Standard (-) and Phillips (+) |
| 3. | Side Cutter |
| 4. | Long Nose Pliers |
| 5. | End caps (included with each lamp) |
| This is the housing showing the original wiring. |
|
| A closer view of the side to be worked on, rewired. |
|
| The ballast wiring section. |
|
| The starter wiring section. |
|
| The original 36W lamp side-by-side with the 2G11 4-Pin LED lamp. |
|
| Step 1: Disconnect ballast wires. |
|
| Step 2: Cut off starter housing wires. Strip about 5-8 mm at the wire ends. |
|
| Step 3: Remove starter housing. --- This step is optional. |
|
| Step 4: Remove the ballast. --- This step is optional. |
|
| Step 5: Connect wires on starter side using an end cap. (Clockwise turn). |
| Continuation of the procedure Step 6: Connect wires on ballast side using an end cap. (Clockwise turn) |
|
| Step 7: Make sure that the other side is intact for testing purposes. |
|
| This figure shows the completed rewiring: Starter is bypassed and removed. Ballast is bypassed and removed. |
|
| Check and validate |
Before this, fit up the old 36W fluorescent lamp on the other side and test it to make sure it works. |
| Step 8: New 2G11 LED lamp fitted in place. |
| We're all done! Enjoy your new LED lamp! Instant turn on. Flicker-free. Economical. Environment- friendly! Dimmable! |
| N.B. If your lamp wiring is the same as Option 3 below, you have 2 possible steps to take: 1. Just remove the starter and do nothing more. - or - 2. Leave the starter connected; it is not used anyway. Of course, #2 can lead to confusion that the starter is still in use. And you may think that even the starter may need to be replaced when the LED lamp spoils. I think #1 will be the best step to take: less work, no confusion. Just hide the wires nice and safe so there is no hazard at all. Thank you! |
