Questions:=20

Can I use the plugs from the old fluorescent fixtures? I assume I can even t=

How do I connect/match up the wires? The old plug has White, Black & Green. T=

I will be soldering the connections.=20

Questions may seem basic or easy to most but I know next to nothing about wi=

Subject: [Shop-talk] wiring an LED tube

I have some LED lights that I am finally installing to replace the last of =
my fluorescent tube fixture in my outside shop.

Unfortunately, they do not come wired to a plug.

Questions:

Can I use the plugs from the old fluorescent fixtures? I assume I can even =
though the old plug wires are slightly larger gauge.

How do I connect/match up the wires? The old plug has White, Black & Green.=
 The new LED has Brown, Blue & Yellow/Green wires.

I will be soldering the connections.

iring.

Thanks!!

Ok, that helps explain things. Most lights marked T5 are intended to go 
into florescent fixtures, this one does not. I looked up that model 
number & came up with a listing on eBay that shows that there is a 3-pin 
connector on one end of the light. There appears to be a wiring diagram 
on the back of the lamp but it doesn't show which pin is which. 
Hopefully you can find a power cord that matches your lamps so you can 
figure out which pin is which.

Peace, Pat

Some LED replacement tubes work with the existing ballast, others do not.

The Only lux T5 I see online comes as a complete fixture with plug and cord
included.

You indicated yours has bare wires in non-USA standard colors.  I think we
need pictures or a link to he product.

I wired it up and it all works fine. I used the wiring connections as sugge=
sted by a couple of the replies I received.

I still wonder why "ballasts" were mentioned. I am wiring up LED fixtures. =
I thought LED lights didn't have ballasts.....

Thanks again for all the replies!!!

Send it back to Amazon, and buy something that's NTL listed.  the crap
unlisted fixtures amazon sells are low quality, inefficient, and
probably not actually intended for use in the US.   You will be
replacing the fixture in six months or a year, save the effort and
start with something decent.  (their vendors screw up and sell
something half decent occasionally, but why bother with taking a
risk?)
