Get a suitable adapter (for the tubes) and Stick those two tubes somewhere in your cabinet and make a Glowing cabinet and for other things please tell the VOLTAGE OF THOSE TUBES

Re: ►► Convert old emergency light to LED lightining.

See, if we take a look at Power It is always DC from a battery..

If we get to know the voltage of the Tubes you were using (Must be written somewhere on them), we can easily determine the voltage of output of your battery, Then we can connect A number of LED s to your battery or to the place where your tubes were fixed to make up the voltage..

Ex: If its a 12V battery, we can attach 6 2V LED s to it and they all will glow at their full potential.. :)

Attach 3 2V LED s to each of them then and form a neat setup..

in series...
in series voltage for each led will be 6/n where 6 is battery voltage and n is number of led...
in parallel each led will have 6v potential difference or voltage....
