Installing LEDS: Benefits of the Ballast Bypass
If you walk into a building, whether it's an office, school, library or store, you are likely to see fluorescent lighting if you look up. You may even notice a few bulbs burnt out, or some flickering on their last legs. What you can't see is that the bulb is actually fine, and it's the ballast that has gone bad. The ballast is the metal fixture that encases the fluorescent tubes, and they require just as much maintenance as burnt out bulbs.
When installing LED linear tubes to replace fluorescent lights, there are few options for what to do with the ballast. Some companies will direct fit the lights to the ballast, essentially just replacing the tube. At sitler's we believe in bypassing the ballast, further reducing your energy and maintenance costs.
