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

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

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.

No, I use bulbs and downlights which are easily available, cheaper and easier to replace

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
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.
