This afternoon I was after some LED tape with associated bits.
To make the order up for free postage I thought I'd order a couple of

I looked at the instructions for installing these.

Last page (p3, right at the end) makes interesting viewing.

Step 3 shows how it should be wired.

You need to remove the starter (if fitted) and the ballast.



My Aldi ones just give you a special starter (which just has the pins
shorted) it works but it leaves the ballast in circuit which makes the
system slightly less efficient power wise.
