Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a non-shunted tombstone lamp socket and why does it matter for LED tubes?

A: A non-shunted tombstone socket has two electrically separate contacts in each end cap, allowing current to enter and exit independently. This design is required for single-ended or direct-wire LED tube replacements, where each pin on the tube carries a different wire (live/neutral). Using a shunted socket with these LED tubes can cause the tube to fail or not light up at all, so always confirm your LED tube type before choosing your socket.

Q: Are these sockets compatible with both T5 and T8 LED tubes?

A: Yes! This 5-pack includes sockets for both T5 tubes (G5 base) and T8 tubes (G13 base). Check the tube end-pin spacing on your fixture — T5 tubes use a 2-pin G5 base with a 5 mm pin gap, while T8 tubes use a G13 base with a 13 mm pin gap. The pack works across grille lamps, bracket fixtures, clean-room lights, and other straight-tube fluorescent or LED tube applications.

Q: How do I install these lamp holders in my fixture?

A: Always turn off and disconnect power to the fixture before starting. Remove the old or damaged socket by releasing any clips or screws holding it in place, then disconnect the wires. Connect the appropriate wires to the new socket's terminals, snap or screw the holder into position, insert the tube, and restore power. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring, we recommend consulting a qualified electrician.

Q: What fixtures are these tombstone sockets suitable for?

A: These sockets are suitable for a wide range of straight fluorescent and LED tube fixtures, including grille lamps, stent/bracket lights, clean-room lights, strip lights, and other commercial or residential fixtures that use T5 or T8 straight tubes.
