QUOTE(Zot @ Jul 30 2020, 09:17 AM) Nah, bypassing the ballast will not save electricity by 70%. The shop keeper just relay what has been told and do not know anything perhaps thx for the clarification bro  The ballast in the circuit acts like a resistor that limit the current to the florescent tube especially during start to protect the tube from damaging the electrode. I'd recommend to remove the ballast since it serve no purpose in LED light tube.   |
