[QUOTE="David T, post: 500735, member: 33067"] Hi all! Long time lurker, 1st time poster! I have two outside wall lights (Ansell Quad) that I would like to convert from CFL to LED (G24q-2 socket). I know I have to bypass/remove the florescent ballast and I was looking for advice/confirmation on the best way forward. The ballast is an Osram QT-ECO 1x18-21/220-240 S. (live and neutral IN and 2 pairs of cables to the lampholder OUT) I was planning on using a couple of Wago 222 3-way connector blocks and placing one of the pairs of cables (originally from the ballast) and the mains live into one block and the other pair of cables plus the maIns neutral into another block. I was then going to place boths connectors blocks into a Wagobox inside the light enclosure. Does this sound about right or is there another better way to rewire and bypass the ballast? Also is it okay to re-use the existing wiring in the enclosure in this way? Any help/advice will be gratefully recieved! Thanks, David [IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/3g5bxekcojdq2fj6g.jpg.c74fac4a5d2a5b501532a11c7207f993.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/i2cbwcr6qqynd6v6g.jpg.db21374dc2b84b37f742c4d49f21b715.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
