This is a LED retrofit light for 12" Florescent Tube Lights. Due to the size of these smaller tube lights, an external driver is provided. This driver converts 10-30v DC RV power to a clean 12v DC power for long tube life. Other brands of retrofit tube lights have a wire and the driver hanging out the side of the tube, we choose to provide the driver separately and we utilize the natural pins on the end of the tube for power for a much cleaner looking installation. Since the driver occupies the space of your previous ballast, you will never see the wires or driver while looking up at your fixture.
6000k Cool White. For 4500k Natural White see part number T5-Tube-NW. Though not as popular, this tube is also available in 3200k Warm White part number T5-Tube-WW for those that want a Warmer Look.
You will need basic 12vDC wiring skills to install these tubes, or have them professionally installed. Wiring is basic, each driver gets a positive and negative wire connected, and each driver has a positive and negative wire that need to be connected to the end of each tube.

AWESOME Replacement
I couldn't be happier with these lights. I have a 2 bulb fixture in my kitchen on my yacht. Even though I had to re-wire the standard fixture to accommodate the T5 LED bulb it was worth it. The directions were easy to understand. They are brighter, use less energy and will outlast the standard fluorescent bulbs by far. I also replaced all the 12v lights in my boat. VERY HAPPY with them.

Awesome Product
First off, the items arrived super fast and packaged perfectly. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the superior product and with the help of the RVGeeks. We are slowly replacing all our lights with LED's and M4 has the absolute best product.

Hollywood in our RV
I ordered these and received shipment within the same week. Super fast shipping, great product. The interior of our RV has been transformed into what we now call Hollywood lighting.

Real transformation!
We live off the grid and all the lights in our house are 12v. The light was always dull, but with the new tube and round LED lights, it is like sunshine in the house. Was easy to change and we will order more!

Excellent
Installation went well. The instructions are very comprehensive. The LED tubes give more light with less power and look great.

More light less power use long life easy to install
Very easy to install. If you have doubts fire up your computer go to you tube and watch the video made by Geeksrv . Set your laptop next to the fixture you wish to modify and proceed one step at a time using the pause button. This makes the upgrade very very easy. Enjoy your new light with lots of lumens (LOL). I highly reccomend the Geeksrv video part 4 for the t5 12" installation

55' sailboat is going all LED
I started with 6 of the T-5 replacement LED tubes and with an easy wiring modification they worked perfectly. They are brighter than the old florescent tubes and only twice the price for 10 times the life. Plus, reduced energy consumption which is very helpful since I am on total solar and battery power when not running the generator. Excellent product and I am now buying more to continue the change over and will replace all the external navigation lighting as well. Thank you M4.
