Google 54w LED tube. You'll need to do some rewiring inside the fitting to get it to work though.

yeah great build quality and would look great in my garage fixed to the the wall and down on me worktop, solid build, struggling to find the right LED lamp, seems some still need the ballast in.

Looks like a five foot floro tube,
Rare but there out there,

I believe it's a 116 tube as it's labeled up 116/54, found this with a quick Google.

T5 115,

Next time I go in wholesalers I'm gonna ask for a 114mm fitting!

that lamp didnt work, i assume it had to have the guts all in it, mine just had cables direct to the lamp holder.

ok stuck again, the Light fitting has no ballast or starter, the cables you see in the picture go direct to the tube end caps that hold the lamp in, cant seem to find the right lamp if can be done that is

length is 1400 if you havent realised it was a typo,lol

I'm sure it should have a ballast!

The Original tube looks to have been a T16/54W fluo tube, 1149mm in length. Phillips and thorn make an LED replacement for those I believe.

this one should work with no ballast as it’s a 230-240v rated lamp

dmxtothemax · Oct 26, 2019

it is a floro tube, so there must be a ballast for it somewhere !

Is T16 and T5 the same lamp holder?

Did the lamp physically fit?

i assume the ballast starter and emergency gear was in a separate box up on a shelf , certain wires came from it to the light fitting,i only saw these in the corner of the room and was asked if i wanted them, thought i could make use as they seem to have a high build quality feeling them.
