I have installed LED fluorescent lights in my children’s room recently. I was concerned at the time because I wasn’t sure if those were LED fixtures or not. I asked my brother can I put LED bulbs in fluorescent fixtures. He helped me out. Here is what he told me.

Need help with electrical work? Don’t take the risk and get the job done by professionals. NoBroker Electrician services is just a click away LED Fluorescent light fixture should be used or not

My brother suggested I get ballast compatible LED bulbs which will literally just pop into the existing fixture and I won’t have to change anything at all. He explained that generally, there are 3 kinds of fluorescent fixtures - magnetic, electronic and instant-start. From what he knew, the LED fluorescent lights can work mostly in all of them, if not, in at least two of them.

How to convert fluorescent lights to LED?

I don’t think you can do that but don’t worry there is a solution around it as well. You can get an LED fluorescent light fixture or replace a fluorescent bulb with a retrofitted LED bulb. 

Honestly, when my brother got all technical about these things, I thought I should call an electrician and let him do his job rather than poking my nose around. 

I called up an electrician and simply stated that I want to install LED bulbs in my kids room and he was quick with replacing fluorescent light fixture with LED.

So, I believe the best way to install LED fluorescent light is probably to either get a ballast compatible LED bulb or change the fixture altogether.
