Please distinguish carefully the pin base types: there are G24, 2P 4P, and G23, Gx23 etc. Check your old CFL lamp base so to confirm the existing fixture is G24q or Gx24q socket. 2. No Ballast is Required. Please be sure to remove or bypass the ballast from your existing CFL fixture before the installation of these converters. These converters will not work properly when using the ballast at the fixture. Most importantly, using the BALLAST will cause the LED bulbs to flicker or even destroy immediately. How to remove/bypass the ballast? 1. Turn Off the Power. 2. Find the Ballast. Usually it is embeded inside the ceiling fixture. Please pull off the existing PL lamps, reflector. Leave wiring in junction box. and find the ballast. 3. Normally, the Ballast has a black and white wire on the input side (AC input side, 100V -120V for North America). It also has two red and two blue output wires. To bypass this ballast, please cut all the Input and output wires, so total 6 wires cut. 4. Then, you can connect the two red wires to the black wire. 5. Next, connect the two blue wires to the white wire.ballast bypassed Review: The only "job" these adapters have is to transfer the flow of electricity from the power source to the device. That's what the metal contacts are for. The adapter itself is not mechanical, it has no electronics or moving parts - there is nothing that needs to "work." Most of the poor reviews for these adapters are from people who think they are plug and play. They are not. CFL bulbs use a ballast. LED lights do not. In order for the LED to work, the ballast must be removed, taken out of the equation. This means you literally have to go into the ceiling/wall, find the junction box and snip the wires to bypass the ballast. I've done 5 of these in my home and they all work perfectly. Review: Does not last more than 2 min with an LED Light. The Light seems to be over heating and stops working. ## Features - Need Ballast Removal. 2pcs/lot, sample pack. with Base depth is 15.5mm/0.6 inches. Short version 4pins,Suitable for G24Q-1, G24Q-2.G24Q-3, GX24q-1,GX24q-2,GX24q-3 socket; - NOT FOR DIY!!! NEED REWIRING! Removing or Bypassing the ballast INSIDE the light fixture is REQUIRED. CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN IF YOU ARE UNSURE. DO NOT OPERATE THE LED BULB WITH BALLAST IN THE FIXTURE. DOING SO WILL LIKELY DAMAGE THE BULB. - Physically Change the socket contact, twist into existing GX24Q socket and transform the fixture to fit any standard E26 E27 medium size bulb. BUT mostly GX24Q CFLs are with an electronic ballast inside, which will cause the LED bulb flickering, burnt, hot or smell, and damage the electrical parts inside the bulb. - 4P Conductive, E-Simpo's New Generation. PBT Housing,Copper Contact.Suitable for All Voltage: 100-240V,Works for 4-Pin CFL with G24q-1 Base:10w 13w Quad Tube; GX24q-1 Base:10w 13w Triple Tube;G24q-2 Base:18w Quad Tube;GX24q-2 Base:18w Triple Tube;G24q-3 Base:26w 32w Quad Tube;GX24q-3 Base:26w 32w Triple Tube - There are some LED Driver who can be compatible with the ballast, no LED Driver can be compatible with all the ballast. So the best thing is bypass or remove once we want to change CFL to LED Lamp. When we remove pin-based CFL, we only removed the lamp, the ballast is still working in front fixture; even we change to E26/E27 CFL, there will be 2 ballasts, the light will not work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | E-Simpo | | Material | Copper | | Colour | White | | Base Type | Medium | | Product Dimensions | 38W x 58H Millimeters | | Mounting Type | Ceiling Mount | | Voltage | 240 Volts | | Wattage | 32 Watts | | UPC | 613852331989 | | Manufacturer | E-Simpo | | Country of Origin | USA | | Number of Memory Sticks | 2 | | Special Feature | θŠ‚θƒ½ | | Item Weight | 45.4 g | | Connectivity Technology | Normal bulb | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Are batteries included? | No | ## Product Details - **Brand:** E-Simpo - **Material:** Copper - **Colour:** White - **Base Type:** Medium - **Product Dimensions:** 38W x 58H Millimeters ## Images ![2pcs 4Pin Gx24q CFL to E26/E27 Medium Screw LED Bulb Base Holder Light Socket Adapter Converter.

The Light seems to be over heating and stops working. ### ⭐ Review *by L***. on 14 October 2019* Disappointed that these didn’t work out. I was putting my Phillips Hue bulbs in and needed these to convert plug type. Connected 4-pin bulb worked fine. Tried conventional bulb in connector and bulb wouldn’t stay on. Tried both in box and complete failure. Had to give up after two hours of trouble shooting and going up and down two stories on ladders. ## Frequently Bought Together - E-Simpo 2pcs 4Pin Gx24q CFL to E26/E27 Medium Screw LED Bulb Base Holder Light Socket Adapter Converter.
