Guys, where can i get two tubes LED T8 bracket? most of the shops only have bracket for one LED tube.
Or can i just buy normal florescent 2 tube bracket and fix my LED T8 tube into it ? rclxub.gif

And i cant find LED T8 tubes with 2000lumens, most of them selling T8 16W with 1600Lumens.  sad.gif

Thanks

GE has the T8 tubes you want, but not sure where still got stock in Malaysia.
If you stay in Penang, you can try ask this company "Alt-Tech Electrical & Trading"

Wanted to ask which T8 LED that does not need starter?

Because I saw Philips MASTER has one kind of starter:

My current T8 LED tube is from GE, and does not have starter.

If u're installing a double sided T8 LED tube to a fluorescent casing, u need to replace the normal starter to a EMP starter, that's how the whole circuitry works.

If the casing is dedicated for LED tube, there's no starter required. Just must note if the casing is single sided or double sided & buy LED tube accordingly.

My T8 casing is single sided.
How do I differentiate the T8 tube is single sided or double sided?

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

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

I know about this, I just want to know if the manufacturer has put anything in the spec that identify the tube is single sided or double sided?
