Current carrying capacity of the wires inside a fluorescent batten with regard to LED tubes

Hello all - good afternoon !


As in the subject, can someone verify please what the current carrying capacity of the [thin] wires in a flourescent batten is ?


It is with regard to fitting an LED tube replacement where the [electronic] ballast has to be taken out of circuit; the wires from it to one of the tube mount ('tombstones' ?)  have to be cut and wired from the tube mount directly back to the 240V supply, according to most instructions.


I was curious about the wires with regard to doing this - it must be ok as this is the general instruction, but I was interested to know what they can carry.

  • BTW, RS stock this wire, part number 183-9225 for white, also available in blue, brown, and green/yellow. Also useful for other purposes when ever a small rigid conductor is needed.


    It is also manufactured in pink, violet, orange, grey, very light blue and very light brown, but RS only stock white, brown, blue and green/yellow.
