    Reactive power can come out of your side.

    And how much reactive power does the LED consume?

    And what does it matter with an installed lighting power of 4.5 kW? Don't water my friend. LEDs take or give reactive energy? Hmm ??

    LED light sources and reactive power, yes, is an important topic, probably on another, extensive topic

    Certainly on the topic of large commercial facilities, offices or industrial plants. And certainly not at 4.5kW.

    You only need to remove the igniter and, by disassembling the igniter, take out the neon lamp with the condenser and twist both ends coming out of the igniter housing together, making a jumper and soldering.

    Instead of twisting the wires, I soldered a tube fuse, e.g. 2A, some original so-called starters for LEDs.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the replacement of 2x36 W fluorescent lamps with 18W T8 LED lamps in luminaires that currently use magnetic ballasts and starters. Users debate whether to retain the magnetic ballast and starter or bypass them by connecting the LED lamps directly to the power supply. It is noted that LED circuits do not require starters, and while some manufacturers provide LED-compatible starters, they may not be necessary if the ballast is removed. Concerns about energy consumption and efficiency are raised, with some users suggesting that bypassing the ballast could lead to energy savings. However, others caution that LED lamps may not provide the same light output as traditional fluorescent lamps, and the effectiveness of LED replacements can vary based on specific applications and configurations.
