I did the math with what I observed; that figure isn't a manufacturer's

claim. I admittedly didn't get out my multi-meter and check the current going through it to validate 8.5W, however, that part isn't really in dispute diodes are diodes; there's only a small bit of variance in the circuit driving the diode, but it's not going to put that measurement off by a large factor.

Replaced all 24 48" T8 in my garage Saturday -- typed by ben 07/19/2021 10:37AM

Did you buy new fixtures or bypass the ballast? -- YardBird 07/19/2021 10:57AM

Just bypassed ** -- typed by ben 07/19/2021 11:43AM

Did you try putting it back in ? -- bigbadbird 07/19/2021 09:38AM

TWSS ** -- Spudnut 07/19/2021 12:14PM

No. Have you had them come back to life from doing that? -- jmanatVT 07/19/2021 09:40AM

Yeah- i mean just twist it back - it may come back on- overall -- bigbadbird 07/19/2021 09:45AM

Maybe I'll try later, but I wouldn't say $125 in savings sucks. ** -- jmanatVT 07/19/2021 09:51AM

Those figures prob don't include the cost of the $8 bulbs that work 50% as -- bigbadbird 07/19/2021 09:55AM

Did you use a flashlight ? ** -- bigbadbird 07/19/2021 10:09AM

I have no idea what you are getting at. ** -- jmanatVT 07/19/2021 10:10AM

They don't use any electricity in the trash can ** -- bigbadbird 07/19/2021 10:11AM
