LED T8 Lamp Holder "Tombstone"

09/25/2011 10:58 PM

Im trying to locate an adjustable lamp holder for the new LED tubes that are on the market.

These tubes shine down and have more of a focused light output. Yes these tubes are retro fit and can be used with most lamp holders that can be found in fluorescent fixtures but I would like to find on that can be adjusted so the light can be pointed in a specific direction.

Has anyone seen anything like this. I hear it exist but i can seem to locate one.

I haven't yet seen "tombstones" in which the lamp can be rotated very far, but one never knows.

I like some LED flashlights and pilot lights I've used, but haven't yet found good industrial lighting. Nonetheless, I anticipate it pretty soon, with good lumens/watt and long-life features.

Please keep us posted if you find successful versions.

Good Morning FbC,

By "Tombstone" do you mean one of these?

If so, I don't believe that they make this type adjustable just by virtue of the design.

I also tried to locate something adjustable but had no luck.

Not knowing what type of a fixture you are using I will ask, can you "point" the fixture to give you the desired angle?

This question is in regards to T8 LED tubes that are used for retro fitment... So these tubes can be installed into any existing fluorescent light fixture with any type of lamp holder "tombstone"...
