Where the wire is held in the holder you will see a small round hole. Insert a small nail into it and push inward. This will release the spring that holds the wire. Pull on the wire and it will come out. Now you can release the pressure on the small nail to let the internal spring return to its original position.

To release the wire from a fluorescent tube lamp holder, you typically need to twist the wire connector counterclockwise to loosen it from the holder. After twisting, you can gently pull the wire out of the holder. Be sure to disconnect the power source and handle the wire carefully to avoid any accidents.
A 4-tube fluorescent light contains four fluorescent tubes connected to a ballast that regulates the electrical current flowing through the tubes. When the light switch is turned on, the ballast sends high voltage to the tubes to ionize the gas inside. This ionization process produces ultraviolet light, which then interacts with the phosphor coating inside each tube to produce visible light.
No, a single pole switch cannot replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp. The starter is required to initiate the flow of current through the tube, which a switch alone cannot accomplish. The switch is used for turning the lamp on and off once the starter has activated the lamp.
The choke is used to limit the current flowing through the fluorescent lamp during start-up, allowing the lamp to warm up gradually. The starter is responsible for providing the initial high-voltage kick needed to start the lamp by ionizing the gas inside the tube. Together, the choke and starter work to regulate the flow of electricity and provide the necessary conditions for the fluorescent lamp to operate efficiently.
Glass tube: Acts as the main housing for the components. Phosphor coating: Converts UV light into visible light. Mercury vapor: Emits UV light when electrified. Electrodes: Provide the electrical connection to the lamp. Tungsten filaments: Heat up and emit electrons when electricity passes through them. Ballast: Regulates the electrical current flowing through the lamp.
No, the fixtures do not have anything is common other that emitting light. If you are talking about removing the fluorescent fixture and installing a new fixture that can take a LED lamp then the answer is yes.
