Great video! I'm about to jump into converting my garage fluorescent lights to LEDs. The Amazon ad explained I didn't need to remove the ballast, however none of the bulbs work so going to follow your instructions to remove the ballast.

Thank you

Best video!

Very well made video! I heard about shunted vs. non-shunted lamp holders. Do I need non-shunted lamp holders to bypass ballast?
-
Man who was that beautiful lady in the beginning I think she should be in more of your future videos. Amazing job 😎
-
The dual ended LED tubes are the best because you can't make any mistakes rewiring the fixture.

thank you so very very much for your very easy to understand video. One thing I did want to know is I love those led bulbs with 3 sides, do you happen to know where you bought them or is there a link to where to buy them and or the bulb make and model number, thank you again in advance for you help is this matter, Blessings, Barb

Thanks for your video. I have a question. When you combined the neutral wires you combined (I think) all 4 wires from the 2 tombstones of the fixture (that became the neutral end). I believe you did the same for the hot end wires as well. Is it necessary to combine both wires from each tombstone (to create the neutral end) or can just 1 wire from each tombstone be connected? (With the same question applied for the hot end as well). Thanks!

A question, you said the led gets a lot hotter than the fluorescent lights. Is there anything to worry about as far as the plastic cover that goes over the light? Thanks so much for your videos!

i am thinking on the ballast bypass led and bypassing the ballast all together and i also have an old magnetic Ballast. I have the Ballast cover off and I see that on the yellow wire end of the facture there are 2 black jumper cables going from the left tombstone to the right and there are 2 yellow wires going from the right to the ballast. how would I wire this configure to do the Ballast bypass? then i also have a pull switch as well.

Is there any way I can call you with a couple questions about my light that I am converting to ballast bypass with a pull chain.I need to verify how to wire before starting.Please let me know if this would be possible.Thank you.

In this case are the tombstone shunted?
-
What about fuses? I didn’t see anything about fuses. Are they not necessary?

helpful but the words are hiding the light your working on, makes it hard to watch.
