JACKYLED Non-Shunted Turn-Type T8 Lamp Holder UL Socket Tombstone with 10 inches Wires Attached for LED Fluorescent Tube Replacements 18-Pack

Great Value Bulk Pack for LED Retrofits These JACKYLED non-shunted T8 tombstone sockets were exactly what I needed when upgrading older fluorescent fixtures to LED tubes. The quality is solid—the plastic feels sturdy, UL-listed fire-resistant, and they snap into place with a reassuring fit. Once installed, the LED tubes twist in smoothly and stay secure. The bulk pack of 50 is priced right, especially if you’re tackling multiple fixtures. I liked that they’re compact and uniform, so everything lines up neatly inside the housing. The non-shunted design makes them perfect for ballast bypass LED conversions, and they handle both T8 and T12 tubes without issue. A couple of small notes: these don’t come pre-wired in this variation, so you’ll need to bring your own leads and do a bit more prep compared to the wired version. Also, while most of my installs went in without a hitch, one older fixture needed some slight trimming of the housing to fit them properly—pretty typical when mixing old and new parts. Bottom line: Durable, safe, and cost-effective sockets for anyone retrofitting fluorescent fixtures to LED. A smart buy if you’ve got several lights to update and want a dependable, no-surprises part.

Good product

Some older fluorescent fixtures require a socket (tombstone) change for compatibility with new LED tubes. These tombstones with wires attached were a simple installation requiring only a few minutes to convert the fixture.

Great replacement for my existing "expired and deteriorating" light fixture. Pre-cut wires worked well with WAGO 221 connectors. I ordered 18 of them and one was thrown out because of loose wires.

I never knew the difference between shunted and unshunted. Now I do, yet I'm no wiser. Bought a dozen of these LED Tombstones to upgrade my existing antiquated fluorescent tube fixture. Did a bunch of research before I ordered. Expected a no-brainer installation. WRONG. These parts didn't fit my tombstone holders. No fault of the seller, of course. It's all about no conformity in the industry. Anyways, in the first picture, you see how these fit in my holder. They didn't. Again, no fault of the seller, but they just didn't work for my existing equipment. The second picture shows how I used a mini-grinder to cut the holder back to the depth of the new tombstones. I cut partway through the end of the slot I needed and folded it back, crimping it with a pair of vice-grips. Picture 3 shows the cut and folded holders. Picture 4 shows the new tombstones fitted nicely into the holder. Not perfectly, but close enough. Picture 5: Finally the test. The LED tubes fit nicely into the new tombstones and my jusry rigged test was a success. The bottom line is these parts are worth the investment and do the job flawlessly. Can't blame the seller. Dimensions were provided on the listing. However, be prepared to jury rig your existing equipment if you want to make them work in your equipment.

Work great and nicely constructed

Easy to install. Good build quality. Easy to shunt. Versatile installation capacity.

They are a great replacement for old cracking tombstones. The attached wiring made repairing easier to connect to power supply. The universal fit made life easy.
