Review on 💡 Enhanced Lighting Efficiency: Non Shunted JACKYLED Fluorescent Replacements Programmed by Melvin Goerge

I am a professional electrical engineer and I converted my wife's 4 foot fluorescent ceiling lights to LED lights at my wife's retail store. These shuntless T8 sockets are excellent sockets for this type of lamp. For each light I remove the magnetic ballast and the old bridged connectors and replace both sets of sockets in the lights with these unbridged connectors. These no-shunt connectors are required when upgrading to use 4-foot direct-drive LED lamps. Direct drive LED lamps use 120V AC through the contacts on one end of the lamp and the other end has metal contacts but requires no power. Therefore, these connectors are essential for LED retrofits as they are shunt-free and allow 120VAC to be supplied to one end of the lamp. I also use them on the dead end just to make it easier to insert and remove the new LED bulb. I've found that 18 AWG solid copper wire works best with these connectors. All you have to do is remove a small piece from the end of each cable and carefully insert it into the cable holes at the base of the jack. I'm using 18AWG black and white wire for the upgrade for ease of wiring. I would also recommend using electrical plug-in connections; or better yet, some reusable leverage electrical connectors.
