Single sided means one end is L, one end is N. Cannot reverse.

Double sided = both side 1 pin L 1 pin N.

single sided = all china tubes .

double sided = philip ecofit tube n others brand.

am i rite?

single sided cannot reverse meaning the tube will only light up in 1 direction depend on which side is L?

thanks ...

It is the other way round.
China Tubes = Double Sided
Philips/OSRAM/GE = Single Sided

Single sided tubes can also be reversed if the wiring is done right.
*
single sided i meant use only 1pin each end of the tube pin
china tube just need 1pin wire from left and right


double sided ...need use 2pins each end of the tube ...
philip ecofit ..1pin wire from left to right and 1more wire shorted from left and right ..

thanks ....
