Designer's Note

Although our retrofit kit fits 99% of the fixtures out there, there is a small percentage of older T12 fixtures that look just like the one in our video but will be hard to retrofit. We recommend that you try one kit and try the lamps in the sockets before you start the process of the retrofit. Of course you will want to do that with the power turned off to the fixture. The issue is that some of the very old T12 lamp sockets and fixtures do not allow room for the length of the new T8 retrofit tube.

retrofit kit upgrade Review by Trenton_Joe

I purchased two kits so far. On the first kit I learned as per the item description that the sockets needed a slight haircut along the sides for the middle tube to fit into the opening. The two outside lamp sockets dropped right into place and locked in with the old screws & nuts as did the middle sockets after the modification. I purchased the un-wired sockets too because my sockets were showing their age and one was cracked so it’s all new now.

I have very old fixtures from the 50’s that were made my Wheeler. They are well made and it great shape after a little touch up paint. Not only did these have the ballast but they had the old starters as well. The old ballast(s) were likely the originals because I never replaced them, they just kept going. In any case I seen a post in another forum with a link to this site. I then went down and metered out the old configuration and it was drawing 140 – 142 watts (3 lamps + ballast) so then I figured it was time to upgrade. The new configuration is only drawing 54 watts and provides much better lighting.

These kits are located in my basement, one in the workshop and the other in the washer/dryer area. It is not unusual for us to have both lamp sets on at the same time. So that 140watts per fixture outlet quickly turned into 280 watts with both lamp sets on. With the kit upgrade its now 108 for six lamps (3 per fixture) so it was well worth it. It was a fun project and was happy to salvage the fixtures with the Retro Kits. You can’t buy stuff like that anymore so saving the old fixture was a huge plus.
