Non-shunted Turn Type T8 Lamp Holder JACKYLED UL Socket Tombstone (12 Packs)

Replaced several damaged light bulb fixtures work like factory on all lights used in

with some effort, but they work

These are great! Get rid of the ballast and the fluorescent bulbs. Love the LED lighting and the ability to adjust your light to your personal preference.

Product is a little shorter than my original, but works fine.

Several months ago, we had 16 fluorescent bulbs in our kitchen dome ceiling. They worked when they wanted to. Bulb replacements were very expensive for tubes and ballasts that didn't last. After some research, we ordered the JACKLED tombstones to modify the light fixtures to use T8 LEDs. The majority of the T8 LED replacements are wired to have the +/- at one end as opposed to fluorescents that are wired positive at one end an negative at the other end of the tubes. To do this, non-shunted tombstones do not have internal bridges from side to side and are a must. If you did need them shunted, a bridge wire would make it possible. After stripping all of the wires and the ballasts out of the fixtures, it was simple to insert a 14 gauge house wire into the tombstone, reassemble the fixture, make certain that the proper end of the tube is powered, and enjoy the new LEDs. Converting T8 flourescent fixtures to LED is cheaper that buying new fixturesAmazon, as always, had the price, packaging, and delivery time.Even though we pre-wired all 16 tube locations, we only used 8 LEDs as opposed to the 16 fluorescents. In choosing LEDs, we opted for the daylight white and found that 8 LEDs gave more light than the 16 flourescents (when they did work). Because the LED T8s are wired at only one end, we attached a label on each fixture for future reference. Included on the label was the tube information should one ever have to be replaced.We have since sold the home and the LED conversions in the garage and kitchen were strong selling points. It was amazing to see the response of buyers whom had viewed other homes still using the flourescents. We are now converting the flourescent fixtures in our other home. We are also buying used fixtures to modify for the garage and basement.You can also buy the tombstones with a pigtail wire that are more expensive. But why go that route and use wire nuts to attach the wires when the house wiring can be inserted directly into the tombstone and wires are only needed at one end. Also, it is best to replace the tombstones at both ends of the fixture because there is a height factor between manufacturers.

replaced some broken lamp holder

Product is exactly as advertised. I liked that their listing showed actual physical dimensions so I knew it was a 1:1 replacement. Also showed up 1 day earlier than promised. Very happy camper.

Converted fluorescent lamp to led. Easy to do and light works brighter and better.
