Default Flourescent light fixture not working

I was sold the wrong kind of tube lights at Home Depot. I asked for help and showed them my 32 watt 4 foot fluorescent tube that was burnt out and the guy sold me a 10 pack of LED tube lights.

I tried them in one of the fixtures and of course they did not work and now that fixture doesn't work. The other fixture is working fine. I got 4 brand new fluorescent tubes this morning.

I double checked and the bulbs in the bad fixture are good.

Could the LED bulbs had burnt out something in the fixture?

Thanks for any feedback on this.


I doubt the LEDs had anything to do with damaging the fixture. They draw
little power, more likely the fixture had a bad ballast or other problem.
Why not replace the whole fixture with an LED one?
