Member of Judges’ Evaluation Commission of Moldova concludes term byteseu.com/1622485/ #Moldova




Damnit, I was in the hospital and missed it.

In my kitchen there are 3 florescent light fixtures connected by metal flex tubing, in a box in the ceiling.

At some point I switched from florescent tubes to LED tube lighting.

Today flipping the power switch doesn't turn on any of the lights.

Since all three lights failed together, I'm guessing it's something more complicated than the lights burned out?

Something like a ballast (that I can't see) failed or rats chewed on wiring?

I'm not sure how you connect a meter to an LED light with 4 pins to see if it's burned out.

in reply to Diane

there is a little tool you can get at the hardware store that lights up when it touches active current

mine has sometimes helped me locate problems like this

in reply to Diane

LED lights don't use ballast; that’s specific to fluorescent bulbs. Could be the switch or a circuit breaker.
