[WhatDoYouThink!]

Must check the range of the adapter. Some 8 to 12w, some 10 to 15 w, some 12 to 20w …..

[sgbuffett]

Should be no problem

[Blasterlord2]

Should be ok.

ADAPTER ?............you mean the housing for the tube ?..........how to check ?

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Something like this. Each has a proper operating range of wattages

If a bulb or tube has a higher wattage it’ll still work. But the excessive heat will shorten the life of the adapter or even cause fire

This kind of LED driver is quite easy to spoilt.
I dont use LED driver.

Better trip your breaker before changing the light. You dont know how the electrician run your house wiring. Better make sure you have grounding on your LED light

[Blasterlord2]

No brand one. Bought from China at low price. If driver spoiled then just buy a new driver. Very cheap only. Led itself not so easy to spoil.

It’s very easy to remove the current tube fixture and replace it with this bulb socket. If the bulb spolt just get a new one, so easy

[teaserteam]

T8 is a generic type name used in fluorescent fittings and tubes. The bi-pin is also a unique feature of fluorescent lamps. The T8 LED with a bi-pin that you have shown is a specially designed LED lamp that can be used to replace the fluorescent lamp. These LED lamps have an in-built LED driver. There are two designs: one allows the old fluorescent ballast to be in place, and the other requires removing the old ballast.  As these T8 lamps have built-in LED drivers,  it does not matter what lamp wattage you use for the lamp as long as the lamp can fit into the existing lighting fitting. The design of the T8 LED lamp should have taken care of the heating problem.

It is for your own safety. 
Safety first lah.

[RiseofAsia]

Only fool will believe lah.
Even current Phillips LED light also spoilt easily compare to their predecessor, dont say those normal LED light.

[RiseofAsia]

It is best to have the schematic diagram of led driver.
Blindly changing capacitors becos of bulging capacitor issue may not always work.

Believe it or not, this is the truth lor. Other people can have different experience from me, but I can only tell it from my own.
