Good evening,

I have a job coming up replacing multiple Fluorescent lamps and ballasts etc with LED one ended t8 lamps. I have just had a sudden thought whether or not the previous holders are likely to be shunted or not (I should have checked beforehand). Obviously Ill have to check these on the day but I am wondering does anyone know where is the best place to pick up non shunted lamp holders if needs be.


Cheers for any replies

If the ballasts remain connected they will be wasting a small amount of power, not much per ballast but over the 150 fittings it will add up.
