They’re plug-and-play, which seems like a bright idea…

After my last experiment with LED lighting, I thought I was done with LED videos!

However, I was in the big box store the other day and came across some plug-and-play T8-compatible LED bulbs. These look like a T8 Bulb, and they plug into a T8 Fluorescent fixture with NO WIRING CHANGES NEEDED. I happened to need some new fluorescent bulbs and so I thought I would give these a try.

They plug right in, work just like a regular fluorescent bulb, and they seemed to have comparable brightness to my eyes.

One thing to keep in mind is that these REQUIRE the presence of an Electronic ballast in your fixture.

ps: the bit at the beginning is an homage to one of John Heisz' videos:    • How To Make A Super Bright LED Light ...
