We are going to be retrofitting a large number of 4' flourescent fixtures with LED tubes. This will involve eliminating the ballasts and wiring the line voltage directly to the sockets, hot to one end of the tubes, and the neutral to the other end. It has come to our attention that on many of the LEDs we are testing, when one end is inserted into the socket the pins on the other end of the tube can become energized. This is if the first end was attached to the 'hot' socket. We are wondering if this is a potential code issue? At the very least it's a dangerous hazard to untrained people that may be removing the tubes someday down the road.
