I have some old fluorescent tubes. What does the "G13" or "G23" base mean, and can I replace them with LED equivalents?

The “G” followed by a number such as "13" or "23" indicates a bi-pin connector specifically designed for fluorescent tubes. These include types that require different mounting types in some fixtures. Often, you can find LED equivalents designed with the same base type and mounting styles for easy replacements. Ensure the voltage and physical size match so your new bulb works safely.
