T8 replacement issues

[WA_Sparky]

I have (3) 2 bulb 1x4 linears installed in my garage. The fixtures have fluorescent 32W T8s. Unfortunately I've let them all burn out before I replaced them. I went to Home Depot and purchased some LED equivalent bulbs. Some bulbs showed that a ballist rewiring was necessary. I picked out the direct replacement bulbs. For what ever reason non of them work on these fixtures. As I'm twisting one of the bulbs in it will very briefly flash some light but none of them seem to stay lit. Any ideas what might be going on?

Probably bad ballasts. I suggest returning them and get the direct-wire type.

Some bulbs showed that a ballist rewiring was necessary.

The type-A lamps you bought require a good ballast. Type-B ballast bypass lamps require re-wiring the fixture.

What them said.

I won’t install led bulbs that require a ballast anymore. I only install direct wire, and rewire the fixtures and toss that ballasts.

Make sure you put that sticker on the fixture too.

Many drop-in direct replacement have FCC Class A instant start electronic ballasts in mind. They're commercial/industrial use and technically not legal for use at home. Household ballasts are rated FCC Class B and they're specifically designed to have less RF emissions.

Worth keeping in mind that chance of compatibility issue is quite high with drop-in LEDs in residential "shop lites".
