I picked up a pair of LED T8 4-foot tubes, Honeywell branded, 18W. They advise using only with
electronic "instant-start" ballast. I got a 2-tube fixture which matches the description.
First test, one tube lights very dimly, almost looks like leakage current, the other not at all.
Swapping tubes makes no difference. Both tubes and fixture are new, not suspecting a defect in either, but will
check (do not use long tubes/fixtures so have no spares around the house).
I'm suspecting ballast compatibility issue; could someone provide input on this?
