T5 Fluorescent Tube Light Socket G5 Base Lamp Holder Tombstone Accessory for LED Fluorescent Lampholder, 20Pcs

Great deal on a quality product. I used these tombstones to retro-fit a 4 bulb shop light with T8 LED bulbs. For one-sided LED bulbs, you need these non-shunted tombstones. With LED bulbs, you need to remove the ballast. You simply power each side of the tombstone (see photos) with hot and neutral (black and white). Then you can connect them in series. It was very easy. I used extra wire from the ballast I removed.These were the type I needed to snap back into place in the shop light. All the power wires are on one side, where nothing is connected to the other side of the LED bulb. They are just there to hold the bulb in place.These were exactly the size I needed, and they all worked perfectly. No issue with this product.

Used to replace old T5 bi-pin sockets in overhead, enclosed bathroom vanity fixture. The housing isn't made of the heaviest plastic but the spring loaded wire contacts are secure and the contacts for the lamp pins felt solid. I hope they hold up for a while because it's a chore to get up into the recessed overhead lighting box to do any work outside of replacing lamps. I didn't expect the highest quality sockets based on the price but seeing how all the contacts were solid, I really cant complain. Just knocking of 1 star due to the light gauge material, especially at the mounting foot/tab area.

I have converted three 4-foot T12 fluorescent fixtures now using these tombstones, and replaced the old fluorescent bulbs with 18 watt Hyperikon 4000K T8 LED light tubes (see my 5-star rating of those ). The lights now come on at full brightness in my unheated shop, and I don't have to worry about changing light tubes for years.

parts good. would be nice to have directions to tell how to snap the part in place and ensure wire connections solid.

the only thing i have found is the back covers, some come apart in hand they don't stay locked together.

Worked perfectly - replaced 8 broken fittings on a $160 light for under $7. Exact fit and easy to install. Took less than 30 minutes including wiring and reassembly of unit and I still have 12 spares.

Worked well except when trying to remove a wire. Had to be extremely careful when releasing the wire as the metal would bend and not return to a position to securely hold another wire. Other wise happy with the product.

If your fixture is the type which requires a "click-in" tombstone ----- These are the ticket. They snap right into place and hold your new LED Tubes securely. I recently changed 7 fixtures to LED "non-shunted" type tombstones. 4 of my 7 were the "click-in" style rather than the slide-in. Having these made the conversion from fluorescent to LED a "click" (snap would have been the proper word - but.....). You squeeze the tab where the pencil is pointing and these tombstones click right into place in your fixture.
