LED Garage lighting question

joey180sx

I purchased these battens and led tubes with starter in the link below online last week.

Before purchase I emailed them twice to confirm that the 2 were compatible and that i needed starters for these to work as stated in the battens description and I was told I need the tubes with starters for them battens.

Arrived yesterday but on the battens there is no place for the starters.

Will these still work with no starters?I have contacted the supplier by phone but no reply yet.

Am I right in thinking that the "LED starter" is just used to make a connection (or: short) in old battens which have a place for a starter?

But since you bought LED battens, the LED tubes will work with no starter?

I was thinking something similar but in the description in the batten link it states you need tubes with starters to work in there battens.

They had tubes with no starters for sale and if a starter is not needed it make more sense to say one of these is required.

From batten link.

Easy and quick installation

These waterproof battens are easy to install. The installation is simple since the only tool you need is a screwdriver. These fixtures are compatible with LED tubes. Note that for this fixture a LED tube with starter is necessary. Switching to sustainable LED is possible regardless of budget.

Compatible with EM LED tubes

This fixture is not integrated with led-chip. Instead, with this fixture you can use your existing LED-tubes or new LED-tubes for an easy and fast installation and upgrade. This fixture is compatible with EM LED tubes and starter which you can find on this page.

Sounds about right

Seems like a lot of trouble compared to a standard led batten, how do they compare
