I have about 30 4 bulb 4ft shop lights that I want to convert from fluorescent to LED. I need to swap the tombstones from shunted to unshunted on one side to do this. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to remove the metal tab that the tombstones anchor in to. There are no tabs on it to use a screwdriver. Outside of drilling my own tabs into it is there something I’m missing? Thanks in advance Fluorescent to LED conversion tombstone removal D46B4AFC-DAB0-4E60-AB05-AE063B89F373 - EletriciansForums.net

I suspect that fitting is pretty maintenance free aside from the control gear cover. Can you show a pic with the tubes removed.

Maybe drill rivets out? Seems a bit extreme though.

Collab take the bulbs out then take your hand pinch both sides and it should come right off. Turn power off
