QUOTE(sgpdsmss @ Oct 7 2021, 08:10 AM) single sided = all china tubes . It is the other way round.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 ... China Tubes = Double Sided Philips/OSRAM/GE = Single Sided Single sided tubes can also be reversed if the wiring is done right. |

Usually in my line the single or double sided are referred to the T8 tubes itself and not the casing.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 .... |
