Has anyone tried sticking an LED bulb in these adapters? Do they still work since GU24 is a ballast socket?

Yes I use these with LED bulbs. I have 8 dusk to dawn lights I purchased at Home Depot and they all came with GU24 bulbs. I think the GU 24 bulbs are the worst idea ever, what is wrong with the screw type base that has been around forever. I have been using these for a couple of years now and no problems yet. I'm buying 5 more for some new dusk to dawn lights I'm installing.

Well I haven't had a problem with them. Not sure what you mean by safe? They connect right into the GU24 base, you screw the E26 bulb in place. It adds about 3/4" in length to the bulb, so be mindful when you make your bulb selection. TONS of choices in that department in shape/size.

There are GU-24 based LED bulbs available on Amazon, search GU-24 LED there are also converter bases if the bulb is short and will fit the space for the bulb and spacer. Try two 40 watt equivalent LEDs, should work OK and give plenty of light.

I'm using it with florescent lighting but the instructions say it will work with any current bulb. I'm sure the LED's will be fine.

a search for e72 on bulbs.com finds no results. i used this adapter to install candelabra base leds in standard medium sockets.

I do believe that the High Pressure Sodium bulbs require a specific kind of ballast... I do not think it is compatible with CFL's or LED's... Most all CFL's and almost all of the newer LED will work in a regular lighting socket.

I have done the same thing for outdoor lighting and it worked fine. I would suggest putting the old bulbs back in and see it they work or measure the connector outlet to ensure you have 12vdc at the terminal. Good luck . These bulbs I received far surpass the halogen bulbs that I had in prior with a great light and much longer life.

Sorry Robert, I don't know about a ballast. Purchased the extra bulb from Amazon, have not encountered the ballast issue. Good luck.

I am not an electrician, but I believe that ballast is only needed for fluorescent lights and would not be needed for LED bulbs.

you can replace with LED 4W GU10 bulbs. LED's are much warmer, but do not give off as much light.

I use the 1461-LHC switch with this LED bulb: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZBJ25G/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works fine, just like a regular switch with an incandescent.

Yup! I've used both digital and analog ballasts and the bulbs don't really matter much. If your current ballasts work with your set up (as in plays nice with sensors/daytime/auto-on modes) and the wattage matches; this should be a plug and play installation. There's plenty of places on google that can help you out if you get stuck. Best of luck!

Haven't tried them with LED lights. I couldn't get them to work with compact fluorescent lamps,

Good day, I purchased some of this model LED tube from this particular company and the tubes work well. Realize that LED fixtures are NOT compatible with fluorescent ballasts, so you cannot plug them directly into a pre-existing fixture. The ballast must be removed or you may "hot wire" them around the ballast. Different manufacturers wire differently. There are four prongs: two on each end. You only need two of those prongs. Either the two on one end or the same two on opposite ends. I am currently on the road, so I cannot look at this particular tube to tell you how to wire it, but if you say you have "hot-wired" and it works, you have picked the correct wiring configuration. Yes, it is wired directly, no ballast. That's the way LEDs work. Hopefully this message has been some help or, at least, reassures you. Good luck. Bob

I have wondered the same thing. I have not tried it because I dont want to waste money on bulbs that dont function with this light. Having worked with lighting extensively through out the years i dont think it will work., the ballast probably wont light them and if it does they may not light fully. If any one else tries it please let the rest know. Sorry this wasn't much help

I would have to agree with DB ,the current ballast would not start the 250 watt ed28

Unfortunately I have had no problem with my HID ballast. Try contacting the manufactor.
