5. Installation Instructions (Ballast Bypass, Dual-End Powered)
These JESLED 8FT LED tubes require a ballast bypass installation. This means the existing ballast in your fluorescent fixture must be removed or bypassed, and the fixture rewired to directly supply line voltage aan die lamp holders (tombstones).
Gereedskap benodig:
- Draadsnyers/stropers
- Skroewedraaier
- Draadmoere
- Elektriese band
- Voltage toetser
Installasie stappe:
- Skakel krag af: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the fixture and turn off the power. Verify with a voltage tester that the power is off before proceeding.
- Verwyder bestaande fluoresserende buise: Carefully remove the old fluorescent tubes from the fixture.
- Access the Ballast: Open the fixture to expose the wiring and the ballast.
- Bypass/Remove Ballast:
Cut off all wires connected to the ballast. You will typically have a live (black) and neutral (white) wire going into the ballast, and multiple wires (often yellow, red, blue) going from the ballast to the lamp holders (tombstones).

Figure 5.1: Ballast bypass wiring diagram. Connect the live wire to one end of the LED tube and the neutral wire to the other end.
Connect the live (hot) wire from the main power supply to the wires leading to one end of the fixture's lamp holders. Connect the neutral wire from the main power supply to the wires leading to the other end of the fixture's lamp holders. Use wire nuts to secure all connections and electrical tape for added insulation.
- Install LED Tubes: Insert the JESLED 8FT LED tubes into the modified fixture. Ensure the single pins are securely seated in the lamp houers.
- Apply Warning Label: Affix the provided warning label to the fixture to indicate that it has been modified for LED lamps and no longer uses a ballast. This prevents accidental installation of fluorescent lamps in the future.
- Herstel krag: Close the fixture and turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

8. Probleemoplossing
If you encounter issues with your JESLED LED bulbs, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| LED tube does not light up | No power to the fixture; incorrect wiring; loose connection; faulty tube. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections (live to one end, neutral to other). Ensure tubes are securely seated. Test with a known working tube. |
| Flikkerende of inkonsekwente lig | Loose connection; incompatible dimmer (if used); EMI. | Check all wiring connections. Ensure no dimmer is used, as these bulbs are non-dimmable. Relocate away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. |
| Radio or garage door opener interference | Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from the LED driver. | Install the LED tubes away from sensitive electronic devices. Ensure proper grounding of the fixture. |
| Tube sags in the middle | Lack of central support for 8FT tubes. | Install additional support clips in the middle of the 8FT tube to prevent sagging. |
