minus-squaresnf@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 months agoThe diagram I originally referred to was on the packaging for the tubes I bought (GE Direct Wire 96" T8), but it’s basically this: https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GE-current-LEDL136-LED-Double-Ended-Type-B-T8-Tubes-FIG-3.png In my case (double-ended lamps, 6 ballast wires, right side of the diagram above) the fuse goes between the hot and the red/blue wires leading to the sockets. I’ve actually got two of them since the fixture has 4 tubes in it. Hope this helps!
