It is good practice to remove the ballast from the fixture.

Also you have to know if your tombstones are shunted or un-shunted and have led tubes that are compatible. it's easy to replace tombstones too if need

I always add the warning sticker to let others know it’s no longer fluorescent compatible.

So you can just turn the switch off instead of turning off the breaker??

Leave a note/label indicating the new bulb requirements... that "normal" T-8 fluorescent bulbs cannot be used?

I had 2 florescent light fixtures in my old apartment and I had no idea about bypassing the ballast.

I really hate these fire hazard retrofits… the tombstones really are not 15-20 amp rated… newer tombstone maybe… if you relamp don’t do it live…

The issue I’m running into is that mine are wired hot to the light, so there is another white wire running hot from the light to the switch
