snfRewired an old florescent tube fixture for LED with a ballast delete
Are the fuses extra protection? The ballast bypass diagram I found didn’t mention it
Which one are the fuse holders? The black or white plastic pieces? The orange one looks like twist connectors
The two white plastic parts are the fuse holders. From what I’ve read, the fuses are an safeguard against someone accidentally replaces one of the LED tubes with a fluorescent one. Putting a fluorescent light directly on mains power with no ballast could be pretty dangerous
𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘That… is a good point. Would you mind sharing the diagram you used? I’ve got one I’ve been meaning to get to.
The diagram I originally referred to was on the packaging for the tubes I bought (GE Direct Wire 96" T8), but it’s basically this:
manuals.plus/…/GE-current-LEDL136-LED-Double-Ende…
In my case (double-ended lamps, 6 ballast wires, right side of the diagram above) the fuse goes between the hot and the red/blue wires leading to the sockets. I’ve actually got two of them since the fixture has 4 tubes in it. Hope this helps!
