Could you add English subtitles please 🙏 🇺🇸

You have an option for this from KZfaq. Click on the sort of star on the bottom-right corner of the video. Activate the subtitles there.

I am finding these light testing videos really annoying, the first two I watched only showed testing one end of the bulb, now this one doesn’t tell me what multimeter setting to use for the ballast leads.

Indeed it's very annoying, he doesn't even show where he put multimeter settings...👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

I have a problem with several under-counter fluorescent lights that have been burnt out for a while. I bought a pack of 5 off eBay, and only 2 out of 5 worked. They appear fine, but 3 wouldn't light. I also bought a pack of 3 from Amazon. One I replaced, and it works fine. The second fixture was burnt out as well, but neither of the extra 2 works in the remaining fixture. Why so many apparently bad bulbs? None should have come on if a bad ballast but only 2 out of 5 replacement bulbs worked. I don't understand why such a high percentage of replacement bulbs off eBay- damaged in shipping? They are t5 16 and 20-inch bulbs.

Your test at 4:40: You put the multimeter's terminals in the connector. A guy in another video puts only one in the connector and one on the ground cable...

Your test at 4:50. My multimeter did not beep and yet the light is working.

You sound like Ozzi mate 😂 🍻

With the power on can you test the pin holes on the fixture for voltage to see if the ballast is ok? And what should it read? 120 volts or what?

@cagmito76 Жыл бұрын

I cannot advise to test live equipment , sorry. The transformer / Ballast will have all voltages on it.

that one didn't have the tiny starter cylinder?

Can you use a simple continuity tester to check and see if the bulb is good or not ? Mine 'beeps' when you touch the leads of the tester together so I'm guessing a beep when you put the pos and neg leads onto the two pins that stick out of the ends of the bulbs means the bulb is good , right ? Thanks !

Yes, it tells you the filaments are ok at least, i cover that in the video if i remember correctly.

@@cagmito76 I tested my bulbs T8 thin after seeing your video with my meter on olms and they read 30 ohms so I knew they were good, and they worked in another fixture. I want to check the ballast and wonder if I can check the voltage at the pins holes with my meter set to 240 volts?

@rouizulueta9069 Жыл бұрын

How do you know if the fixture or the holder is working?

@IAmThe_RA Жыл бұрын

Mine is about 6ohms each side. But i don't know the wattage of the bulb, there is no info printed on the bulb. How can i find the wattage?

@spankymagee Жыл бұрын

Get a volt reading and a amp reading on one of the good ones and multiply those 2 numbers together for watts. Like here in U.S. a 120v system drawing .25 amps is a 30 watt. V x A = Watts
