If your existing installation is equipped with an electronic ballast, the procedure is as follows:
Remove the fluorescent tube "place the LED tube" only connect the LED tube to one side


The advantages of LED technology:

Compared to your old fluorescent and energy inefficient fluorescent tube, LED technology offers many advantages. Indeed, an LED tube has a longer life span of 30,000 to 50,000 hours depending on the model chosen. This allows spacing replacements, usually expensive and tedious. You will benefit from quality lighting for more than 15 years, and this without loss of brightness over the years.

For example, a 31W LED tube is sufficient as a replacement for a 58W fluorescent tube. Your consumption in this way halved reduces your energy bill. Finally, LED tubes have the particularity of being more environmentally friendly because they do not contain mercury and are made of a very strong plastic material that comes to replace the glass used for the manufacture of traditional fluorescent tubes. This drastically reduces the risk of breakage during handling and transport.

If you have a base with 2 pins, choose the GU10 in 230V power supply, or the GU5.3 or G4 in very low voltage (12V). If you have a bayonet lamp, choose the B22. What power? The power of the indicated LEDs is expressed in the number of watts consumed, followed by the halogen equivalence, so that the luminous rendering can be compared. For example, an LED of 7-35W means that it will consume 7W but will replace a halogen of 35W for the same quality of lighting. The electricity consumption is divided by 5 for the same light...
