| Pins | Internally connected | Two separate contacts |

Match the holder to the tube type you are installing. The fixture label and the old tombstone both tell you which style you have.
How to Choose
1. T5 or T8 / T12
T8 and T12 use a G13 medium bi-pin holder. T5 uses a G5 mini bi-pin holder (13654-TWP). They are not interchangeable.
2. Shunted or non-shunted
Keep fluorescent or Type A LED → shunted. Convert to Type B LED → non-shunted. Look into the old socket: a metal bridge between the two contacts is shunted.
3. Mount
- Slide-on — 13180-U, slides onto the fixture rail
- Snap-in — 13660-SWP / 23661-SWP, presses into the knockout
- Twist-lock — 13654-TWP T5, twists into the plate
- Butt-on / screw-in — 431-W vanity and end-mount fixtures
4. Height
Tall holders sit the tube farther from the housing. Medium holders sit closer. Match the height of the tombstone you pulled.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lamp holder?
The plastic socket that grips the tube pins. Also called a tombstone or lampholder.
Can I use these with LED tubes?
Yes. Type A LED tubes use shunted holders with the ballast in place. Type B LED tubes use non-shunted holders after the ballast is removed.
