In this video I'll show you how you can replace your fluorescent light bulbs with more efficient LED ones. LED lights require much less power, are break resistant, contain no mercury, and provide more color temperature options. There are 2 main types - type A and type B, and this video shows how you can bypass your ballast so you can use either type. It really only takes a few minutes and is probably easier than you think!
