    LED tubes failure mode

    I just wondered if anyone else has seen LED tubes do this (2 different fittings) I’m assuming this is a bad batch as this is apparently the 3rd to do this. Unfortunately testing the wiring was a little difficult due to a right rats nest installed behind two fire-trip wires that shut off the gas.
