[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3507599, member: 7900"] In answer to KOPBET's comment, here is the first video that I watched where the guy just wires to one end. While he didn't say anything about the types of tombstones, he did happen to turn one of them in the early part of the film to where I could see that it was a non-shunted one. EDIT: I began the thought of single ended bulbs vs double ended bulbs when the guy in this video pointed out to use the one end at the wired end. [MEDIA=youtube]w3NRE2yzNag[/MEDIA] The second video was produced by a "lighting company." He also says nothing about whether the tombstone is shunted or not, and in this one, one cannot see one of the tombstones to determine what it was. [MEDIA=youtube]EZQ8Pn7cVic[/MEDIA] After watching the two videos, I ran across this article, which is one a Home Depot webpage. The description in this article seems to match what the guy in the first video did.
