Install 8' led tubes - addresses the major short pin issue

Step by step tutorial on converting old 8' fixtures with single pin FA8 tombstones. Addresses two potential problems - what to do if your tombstones are non-shunted AND how to solve the major problem of LED tubes with short pins that don't make electrical contact in a standard fixture.

Couldn't hear a lot of what was being said but thanks for the video.

So, you didn't wind up with line(black) on one end and neutral(white) on the other, right? Looks like you have both on each end.

I agree, it appears you have the power end (black) going to both ends on the same tube? Can you explain

I didn’t see that either. He mentioned that he’d want hot line on one end (like tying your black source wire to all the black & white wires on the 2 non-spring loaded tombstone side) and neutral on the other end (tying your white neutral source wire to both red and blue wires on the 2 spring-loaded tombstone side), but that didn’t happen. Instead, he tied the black wire to the red wire on the spring-loaded tombstone side and the white wire to the blue wire on the spring-loaded tombstone side. So the 2 bulbs are wired in series?
