Standard luminaires, in addition to their advantages, such as low power consumption, easy installation, low cost, have a number of design flaws. Some of them emerge from the merits: applying cheap, outdated, schemes and materials, the manufacturer reduces the cost of the lamp, while in advance worsens consumer qualities.

Connection of one or two factory-manufactured fluorescent lamps can be studied by disassembling a conventional luminaire. The usual standard, widely used circuit for connecting fluorescent lamps, includes a starter, a choke, connecting wires, a capacitor, and the lamps themselves. In this case, the so-called electromagnetic control system is used.

To improve the degree of illumination independently, removing annoying buzz and blinking is quite realistic. For this, it is necessary to replace the outdated control system with modern electronic( electronic ballasts).

To begin with, you need to dismantle the lamp, remove all the stuffing from it. By purchasing a new electronic unit, based on your luminaire's parameters, you can connect fluorescent lamps without a choke and a starter. For this kind of work, you will need screwdrivers with different stings, wire stripper, screwdriver for fixing control units, electrical tape, screwdriver-tester.

Connection of electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps is easy to perform, with minimal knowledge of electrical circuits, and skills in wiring. In fact, the lamp will remain the unit itself, a set of wires and a fluorescent lamp.

Before starting work, you need to choose in the case of the luminaire enough space for the installation of the electronic control unit, guided by the convenience of connecting to the terminals on its housing. We fix the block to the body with the help of screws with an ordinary screwdriver. We connect the control equipment with the lamp and the connection terminal.

The connection scheme for 2 fluorescent lamps is similar, they are simply connected in series, and, based on this, the power of the electronic unit should be twice the power of the lamps. The same principle, when connecting three or more lamps, in one housing.

After assembling the entire structure, you need to make sure that all the conductors are connected correctly, after which you can install the luminaire in place. Checking the lack of voltage in the network by the tester, we connect the luminaire to the wiring, connecting the wires through a special terminal strip.

The last chord, this is the inclusion of voltage to verify the correct operation of the luminaire. If the circuit, for example, connecting two fluorescent lamps, was performed correctly, then the process itself will be very different from the original one. First, the lamps will be lit instantly, without the so-called warm-up, secondly, the low-frequency buzz will disappear, the light will stop pulsating, noticeable to the human eye, and the total luminosity will increase.

It is highly recommended to call electricians-professionals if you are not confident in your abilities! After all, working with an electrician is dangerous for health and life!
