G'day all, long time since I've posted here. I'm seeking advice from 12v electrical people. I am an electrical dunce.

My caravan has an external Camec flouro light fitting with a "squarish" tube. It has ceased to function. A new tube does not help. In the light fitting, there is a circuit board doover with a number of "things" (round bits, square bits, flat bits etc) soldered to it. There is power going into this circuit board but nothing coming out of it. I've been advised I cannot get a replacement circuit board but need to get a whole new light fitting. This is on order.

However, I know I can get an LED replacement for the flouro tube, which plugs into the flouro tube fitting. I suspect the LED fitting does not require all the stuff on the circuit board for the flouro. Therefore, I wonder if I just bridged over or bypassed the circuit board to get 12v live and the earth to the fitting that either the flouro tube or the LED plugs into, will this give me the flouro to LED conversion?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers
Jeff
Incidentally, the new light fitting I have on order is $72, vs $52 for the LED fitting.
