New lamps and fixtures came very quickly shipped yesterday and got them today. I installed the new fixtures. They have power on just one end of the fixture. (see picture below.) All the new fixtures and bulbs work as they should. Not sure what was wrong with the one other fixture but by putting...

Re: LED Ballast Bypass (partially working) need help 11/24/17 Update So I spoke to the Customer Service guy this morning and he had me talk to his technical guy and he said the way it is wired it should work. So he asked me to wire it so that all the hot was on one end and nothing on the other...

I bought 8. I have 4 fixture 2 for each bay in my garage however I tried all the other lamps and in the process they do not work any more. So 5 have to be returned.

So they sent me the wrong instructions for bypassing the ballast? What seemed simple has gotten confusing. Still trying to figure out why one fixture works and the other fixture I am having so many problems. So now I do not have any good lamps to try. I have to talk to them on Friday to get new...

Question: The other fixture is wired exactly the same and both lamps work fine. So what am I doing wrong?

They are permanently dead however one will lightly flicker in the other fixture.

I wired this fixture exactly like the other fixture. The 2 red & 2 yellow on the right side of the fixture go to the Black/hot wire. The 2 red & 2 yellow on the left side go the neutral. And the ground stayed in place. That is what the instructions said to do. Here is the instructions they sent me.

I guess I should have said wired in parallel not series. The wires are jumped from the one fixture to the other so that they come on together. See the 14/2 coming in and the other is going out to the other fixture. Is this causing the problem? If so how do i fix? Expand this picture to see.

When I originally got the lamps I had a similar problem. One fixture would work then only one bulb would work in the other fixture. So the Prolighting.com said I needed to do a ballast bypass and they sent me instructions on how to do it. Whenever I put a lamp in the one side it blows. Could...

Not that I can tell. There are 2 wires going into each tombstone and each are tied together for either the hot or neutral. Could one of the tombstones be bad? They worked fine with the ballast and florescent lights.

My new bulbs keep blowing!! I purchased these LED bulbs from Prolighting.com GLL 48" 18W LED T8 - 2,664 Lumens - Ballast Compatible - Single End or Opposing End Wired - 5000K - 120-277V...

No problem. Helps pay for the shipping. Did you buy these. If so how did you like the 5000k color? I will be using them in my garage to wash and wax my car and I want to be able to see it clearly. The 2000 lumen 4000k seemed slightly warm but very nice. Thanks

I like the specs on these LED bulbs. I signed up for coupons but it gave me $10 off not 10%. I will call them tomorrow to see how long it will take to ship and cost. Thanks :beer:

The good news is I bought these lights from Lowes and they worked out of the box. No modifications required. 2000 lumens 4K. They are warm and put out just a little more light than my old fluorescent lights but the old lights are cooler. I think I prefer just a bit cooler and more lumens. I...
