matthew0582 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I bought a 24 inch led bulb to replace in my ams combo machine. It says it has a internal driver and all i need to do is remove the starter and replace bulb. Well i did that and the led light did not come on. Am I missing something here?

cvending Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Matthew, depending on which bulb you bought, you may need to also add a replacement starter type piece th at would have come with the bulb. I have bought both types. The ones I bought from Vendors a Exchange came with the adaptor. The ones I bought on Amazon did not. Just put the bulb and turn on. Silly question but is the bulb a 110v bulb or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The last AMS I put LEDs in did not have a starter. If you do not have a starter that means you have a rapid start type ballast. While the instructions do not say so I think rapid start ballasts can damage some brands of LEDs. I removed the ballasts from the AMS machine I did it worked great. I found the ballast in the main cabinet on the right side about 24 inches above the floor behind a panel. The first thing I would do is test your LEDs make sure they still work before rewire your machine. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
