Default Flourescent light fixture not working

" writes:

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.


This is a case where you are going to have to read the instructions.
Hopefully the bulbs came with instructions.
Normally LED bulbs do require some re-wiring of the fixture.
You bypass the ballast and supply power at one end.
