Hi Sun. I mentioned in that post an example, but I have no idea of its effectiveness. "Sun_23 - I have no idea if this device is any good - perhaps folk on here could advise? If it might do the trick, are you techie enough to set up and run the App? Ebay item 304811932877 It's "Watty Box 1000...

Is there an easy way to do this, Boris? One that would give an idea in real time? Thanks.

Thank you. That sounds like a goer, then. There shouldn't be any issues with perished parts as the fittings certainly look to be in very good order, but I'll confirm before proceeding - good point. Any recommendation for tube make? These tubes seem unusual as they are T5 terminal, whilst being...

Hi. As the subject heading. I understand there aren't any LED tubes that'll work as a straight replacement, but I'm happy to do some rewiring inside the fitting - eg, by-passing the ballast, etc - if that is required, rather than replace it all. (Because I have a few to do, and they are...
