Hi again,
Let me try and explain this, can I change a fluorescent into a led bulb.
In other words can I disconnect the caps from the end of the glass tube, take out the internals of a fluorescent bulb and connect LEDs to the terminals and stick it back together again?
Problems I see are that the fluorescent bulb runs on 240 volts and LEDs don’t.
My fluorescent bulbs plug into a socket, and are not wired directly to the mains, so I could just connect a phone charger (or similar) between the two and run them off this.
Any other problems you may see me coming up against?
Would I wire positive and negative of the LEDs to the inner and outer parts of the fluorescent bulb at both ends, or would only 1 end be okay?
This is the bulb I am working with, I have 3 under the kitchen cupboards, and they have stopped making them this size now.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
