Different Types of LED Tubes

 

Types of connection of LED Tubes

There are two types of connections for LED tubes, the first would be the connection at both ends, and the second would be the connection at a single end.

In LED tubes with connection at both ends, the phase must be connected to one of its ends (any of the two pins) and the neutral to the other end (any of the two pins), regardless of which end is used as phase or as neutral, the important thing is that the phase is at one end and the neutral at the other, below, you can see the basic diagram of how the connection would look.

On the other hand, in tubes with a connection at one end there is a label that indicates which end the connection must be made at, then, at that end the phase is simply placed on one pin and the neutral on the other, the opposite end is used only as a support for the tube, the connection can be clearly seen in the following diagram.
