You will not need to retrofit your fixture with non-shunted sockets. Single-ended installation will require installation with non-shunted sockets/ tombstones. Fast, simple and secure installation. Bypassing the ballast will save you both time and money, as ballasts inevitably fail over time and will require replacement. When using the ballast bypass method, we recommend these lights are installed by a qualified electrician. ## Features - BALLAST BYPASS. These tubes must be installed using the ballast bypass method. Use the instructions provided to remove the ballast from your fixtures and directly wire your new T8 tubes. Fluorescent replacement (T8, T10, T12) will save you both time and money as ballasts inevitably fail over time and will require replacement. Ballasts also consume electrical power and by bypassing them you will save even more on your energy bill. - ENERGY SAVING, BRIGHT LIGHTING: Fluorescent replacement (T8, T10, T12) will save you both time and money as ballasts inevitably fail over time and will require replacement. Ballasts also consume electrical power and by bypassing them you will save even more on your energy bill. These lights use only 18W to emit 2200 lumens (equivalent to 40W in fluorescent tubes), making them extra bright and energy efficient. - KEEP ORIGINAL TOMBSTONES. This tube installs directly into your fixture’s original shunted sockets (tombstones). You will not need to retrofit your fixture with non-shunted sockets.

Much brighter than the fluorescent bulbs I replaced. Follow the instructions for removing the fixtures ballast and re-wire per the diagram on the bulb. These bulbs are a "B" type so the ballast has to be removed. The diagram for wiring is also shown in the pictures of the bulb description on the Amazon page. Easy to do if you have common 120V wiring knowledge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the new LED Lamps *by on Reviewed in the United States July 22, 2022* I finally had enough of the florescent tube era. It is over and these LED lamps are very easy to replace those lamps. They arrive in a box with each lamp in a special foam cradle that held them securely and safely. No damage to any of the lamps. I thoroughly enjoyed pulling those Ballasts out of the fixtures. Between the leaking, flickering, erratic operation, I have had enough. Also enjoyed taking all of the florescent tubes and all of the ballasts to the hazardous waste area of the dump. The wiring changes in the fixtures were quick and the new LED lamps very bright and they all worked. Nothing else to buy. Used existing wiring and tombstones. The biggest problem I had was holding my arms above my head for long periods to change them out. I also wish I had made the decision earlier to do the job. It's been over a year now and they are functioning like I did it yesterday. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chose the 4K, glad I did *by on Reviewed in the United States October 3, 2020* Ordered the 20 pack in 4K. Just a shade whiter than fluorescents but not blue. About the same brightness as brand new tubes but the whiter light seems brighter. Not a bad bulb in the bunch. Did the single end, no ballast conversion. Happy to get rid of the humming and flickering old tech. Hope they last now.Edit: I can know speak somewhat on longevity of these tubes. I bought the first 20 a year and a half ago to install in my garage. At the time I did 5 of the 7 four bulb fixtures. They have been trouble free with no failures. In the same time period, two of the eight remaining fluorescent tubes have failed. They have been used normally for a garage, frequent ons and offs, mostly for short periods but longer when I’m working on something or cleaning cars and bikes. I just bought another twenty to finish the garage fixtures and replace the tubes in my basement. You can tell that the older tubes have lost a little brightness but not much, I’d guess less than 10 percent. Either that or the new tubes are simply brighter. Obviously happy with these or would have tried something else. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/76356701-parmida-20-pack-4ft-led-t8-ballast-bypass-type-b](https://www.desertcart.at/products/76356701-parmida-20-pack-4ft-led-t8-ballast-bypass-type-b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
