Did you buy new fixtures or bypass the ballast?

I find it easier and cheaper to just bypass the ballast. This should help with the electric bill a little and LED’s are cool, unlike the fluorescent bulbs which are about 98* which really adds up. They act like mini heaters.

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

I did the math with what I observed; that figure isn't a manufacturer's -- jmanatVT 07/19/2021 10:02AM

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
