I will get a hf ballast fitting when the tube fails then.
I will keep off led replacements for now anyway.
Thanks for all the help and advice on the way.
All the best

I might be going off replacing flourescent with led.
One problem I have is the choke in my fitting is from a 6 foot fitting as the original failed years ago and that was all I had. I think the ballast choke limits the tube current so I am overdriving my tube anyway.
I have a 60ish watt fitting...
It is an old fitting, in those days they were 5 foot and 80 watt, 1.5 inches in diameter tube, the newer ones dropped the wattage to 65 watt. So how many lumens would the 80 watt tube give.
It has a starter but its only 65watt so fails quite often. The ballast choke is in series with the tube...
Hello
I have had a 5 foot 80 watt flourescent fitting in the kitchen for ages. Its time to chang to led strip so what length of led will give me about the same equivalent light. Warm white .
Thanks

Solved now thanks for all the help and advice.
Hello
I am slating an outhouse with slates, 10 x 18 thin blue slates. The span of the building is 3m to the outside. It is very low but is used for access to a garage so headroom is at a premium. I have some 4" x 4" spars I want to use but the question is how far apart should they be. I intend...
It is supplying only one rad and that is not very big so I will give it a go at 10mm.
Thanks for all your helps mates, it makes things alot easier.
All the best.

I might as well push my luck, 22mm is on a 35 foot run from boiler so would I get away with an 8 foot run of 10mm to the rad from the 22mm. There is a 3 inch step in the floor which I will have to follow and 10mm will easily bend.
I will sleeve it as its loose fill with stone bits, have had problems before with bits falling and blocking the hole and had to fill hole with expanding foam and drill that.
Hello
I am adding another rad to my system. It goes 22mm to very near the point but I wondered if I could use 10mm for the last meter or so as I need to drill through a 2 foot stone wall and 10mm is definately easier.
Thanks

Hello
I am going to dryline a cold wall with 100mm of foam then plasterboard and wondered if I need to leave a gap and if I need a membrane and what sort.
Thanks
