Nowadays, most of them are used like LED bulbs. Sometimes you can bypass the ballast.

Bro, pay some money and get all your household lightings rewired into a screw on bulb type lah. Nowadays the bulbs come in with so many beautiful designs. Even if you want tube, they have tube bulbs that come with a screw head for screwing into the light socket. This will save you from that shitty ballast which I hated most when changing tubes.   

[grotesqueness]

if stupid dont how to rewire

change whole casing

I tried doing the same thing a while back and found that it worked fine after I removed the old ballast and connected the wires directly. Some LED tubes say no need to remove the ballast, but I had flickering issues until I did. For lighting ideas beyond just tubes, lampadari moderni camera da letto gave me a few cool options to update the vibe in my home too.

[Fit]

So easy. Remove the ballast/starter and connect the power supply directly.

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

Cannot use the LED, if your tube holder is for fluorescent tube.

I tried before use a LED fluorescent tube on my fluorescent tube existing tube holder. You don't noticed anything at first work fine. After like few months suddenly you will notice flickering. Later than I found out you need to change the holder for LED lights.

Nevertheless I still on fluorescent tube. Partly actually better than LED. I don't wish to debate. Of course a lot will claim LED lights better. Yea my fish tank light is LED last time I used fluorescent tube but I noticed now some use back fluorescent tube. In fact got one famous fish tank light use to grow plants they still on fluorescent tube.

I mean something is not say New technology or stuffs always better. Now a days is all about making money fast. Yeah. This is why you see electronic products now a days or literally everything now you buy don't last so long.

Now the Boss, CEO smart. Why make a new product can last so many years? Or else people will not buy new ones.

I oo think so. I find LED lighting beri straining on my eyes and oso gives me headache. It costs almost double that of fluorescent as well. Since the electricity used is not much lesser dunno why garbagemen want to phase out fluorescent in favour of LED. Nowdays NTUC no sell fluorescent tubes and bulbs liao, even hardware stores oso hard to find them. Maciam need to go bolehland.

[revealer]

Most LED require re-wiring to bypass the existing ballast inside fluorescent fittings.  If the fitting has an electromagnetic ballast and not an electronic ballast,  you can buy Phillips Ecofit tt can replace fluorescent directly by just replacing the starter tt come with the purchase without doing any re-wiring. There r other type tt can replace fluorescent tube directly without any modification but not seem to b available online.

I swapped out my old tubes for LED ones using the same fixture, but I had to bypass the ballast first—pretty easy with some basic rewiring. After that, they worked fine. If you're also updating your lighting and want something more stylish than tube lights, check out https://modernchandelier.com/collections/chandeliers for ideas. They’ve got some really cool stuff that can brighten up the room way more than plain LEDs.
