I have two fluorescent tube fixtures (TL-90) in my home office in Rotterdam, installed around 2005. They flicker and hum constantly. I want to switch to LED, but I'm not sure if I need to hire an electrician or if I can do this myself. What's the cost difference, and am I allowed to do it?
Good news: replacing TL fittings with LED equivalents is usually something you can do yourself if you're just swapping the tube, since it doesn't involve rewiring the circuit. However, if the fixture is old, the ballast may need replacement too — in that case, an electrician is safer (€80–150 per fitting, including labour and materials). DIY tube-only swap: €20–40 per LED tube. If you're uncomfortable working at height or unsure about the wiring, hiring a pro takes 1–2 hours total. Check NEN 1010 safety rules if rewiring is needed.
