How do you wire up a tube light?

How do you wire up a tube light?

The live wire is connected to the one terminal of the switch. From another terminal of the switch the wire is carried out up to tube light set up and connected to port 1. One terminal of choke or ballast is connected to port 1 and another terminal is connected to pin 1 of terminal 1.

How the tube light circuit is connected and how does it work?

Tube shaped fluorescent lamp is termed as tube light. Tube light is a lamp that works on low pressure mercury vapor discharge phenomenon and converts ultra violate ray into visible ray with the help of phosphor coated inside glass tube.

How does choke work in tube light?

The choke of a tube light works on the principle of inductance. It consists of a long copper winding over iron laminations. When an AC voltage is applied to a tube light fixture, the voltage passes through the choke (the starter) and the filaments of the tube. It acts as a starter at the starting of tube.

Can I wire a fluorescent light to a plug?

Having the fixture wired to a plug will allow it to be moved to where the light is needed, and used anywhere there is an electrical socket. Connecting a plug to a fluorescent light fixture is straightforward, but the terminals must be connected properly to avoid hazard from electrical shock.

What type of wire is used for fluorescent lights?

Fixtures wire shall not be smaller than 18 AWG.” Once inside the fixture you can use #18 for not over 6 amps. It must be a type listed as fixture wire. Most Electricians would just use #14 and be done with it.

Which wire is L and N?

The N is for the neutral side or the white wire, and the L is for the load side, the black wire.

Which wire is hot black or brown?

The wiring convention is black for hot, white for neutral and red for other such as a common terminal on a two-way switch arrangement (two switches control one light or outlet).
