@Cfl3028, in my experience of trying out North American market type A magnetic ballast compatible LED retrofit tubes in preheat fluorescent fixtures, they failed rather quickly.

As for using plug and play LED tubes for preheat fluorescent fixtures, I have had some decent success with imported European market LED retrofit tubes that came equipped with LED “dummy starters” meant to replace the old starter.

Additionally, I have also been told by another collector that single end powered ballast bypass LED retrofit tubes can also work okay on preheat fluorescent ballasts if you use a European LED dummy starter in place of the old starter as long as the ballast is not a lead-lag ballast as long as the rated voltage of the tube is close to the ballast’s OCV.

I have been successful with using some Sylvania selectable color temperature type A+B LED retrofit tubes in preheat fluorescent fixtures and that they can work either with an LED dummy starter fuse or with a permanently removed starter.

A better thing for the seller to do in my opinion is to advertise it as “used”.

Everyone on this site has been really chill, easy to talk to, all while showing off similar interests as me... and I've been on this site since 2010.
Of course, when a member leaves after I have become familiar with their names, I will miss them. This is the same with you, @Eleco_SR304.

I enjoy Polish lights, being myself from there too, so it's all good

It's just something in the past that make me say that, and I still ask myself these questions.

I just think that "my polish interest" makes me quite not that an interesting guy, many of you here like USA lights, UK lights, Aussie lights, Bla Bla bla. Still I think Polish ones were popular in the past, before many polish members moved to Lighting Gallery Pl...

@Eleco_SR304 You are a valuable asset on here

@Eleco_SR304
Don't say that, you have 62 excellent pictures, of course we would miss you!

Wow! This has gotten much more attention than mine!

What did you post?, haven’t been on LG for a while and this one was the first I came across? 😃

He was a good member from what I heard of. He also had a few Polish Mesko OURW fixtures in his collection, which was nice 👍

Honestly, it's sad seeing popular members leaving the site. I never really spoke to him, but I know he is a good person.

Though, No one would probably miss me if I left, a unpopular guy who's interested in a part of lighting who no one really much cares about...

Still Polish Streetlights is not much attention than Belgium Streetlights 😁🤔
