I re-wired 4 fluorescents in mom's kitchen for LEDs a few years ago. I
bought new ballasts for them, then replaced with LED can lights this
year. I've always wondered whether I needed the ballasts or not, all the
'documentation' is pretty confusing. There must be some LED strips that
need ballasts, and some that don't?

I re-wired 4 fluorescents in mom's kitchen for LEDs a few years ago.
I bought new ballasts for them, then replaced with LED can lights
this year. I've always wondered whether I needed the ballasts or
not, all the 'documentation' is pretty confusing. There must be some
LED strips that need ballasts, and some that don't? <br>
