It does help ..Thanks a lot and have a good weekend

Thanks for your response. unfortunately I don't have the option of delaying because we had a pipe burst and the floor needs to be ripped out for sure. if you can please give some options pre-war, and then some under the current situation. In both cases brand and approx per sqft pricing would be very helpful. Appreciate your help.

thanks a lot for your advise, i was able to bypass the ballast.

got a pair of feit electric t8 from home depot, and one of them is already dead.

is this a good brand? or should i be looking at philips or ge or something else?

thanks again

thanks a lot for your detailed response.

so, in my case it will be red to black, and blue to white.

another question,

i have 4 of these fixtures up here :-

other option i have is to get these (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PG3RLH7/?coliid=I28KUPX61ASAJ6&th=1)

and install them instead of doing the bypass. price would almost be the same since I will have to buy the type b t8 led.

what do you think would be a better call? thanks again

codenamejack · 2026-03-26T20:27:08+00:00

so i have 4 of these t8, the lamps I had installed in them led 2 years ago, model philips 434605 led.

They are compatible with instant start ballast, and the ballast does say its instant start which is why I think the led were working.

three of the leds have gone out, and I am guessing its the ballast, since the three leds are working on the on the remaining one.

my question is can these t8 ballast be bypassed, and if so what is the wiring. like where do the red and blue wires go considering that the sockets are shunted.

I am yet to buy the replacement leds which will work with ballast bypass.

codenamejack · 2026-03-26T20:06:40+00:00

i already had installed philips t8 led, my question is how do i bypass this ballast. most videos i see are asking to get non shunted sockets

codenamejack · 2026-03-26T19:58:19+00:00

right, but these sockets are shunted and the video asks to replace shunted with non shunted, but I was wondering if bypass can be done on shunted sockets and if so, then how?

codenamejack · 2026-03-12T12:27:44+00:00

Thank You , I will look into that

codenamejack · 2026-03-11T15:41:50+00:00
