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.

Great product
I ordered 2 0f the 12" LED tubes to replace my 12 volt fluorescent light fixture in our 5th wheel. I received the order on the 3rd day and installed the new tubes and drivers. I had to call M4 for some help, and Steve talked me thru the process. The new LED lights are so much nicer than the old one, I will be replacing all my old Flr. tubes with LED as soon as they burn out. The customer service at M4 is the best I have ever had from any company I have ever delt with!

Excellent product and excellent customer service. I had to exchange because I ordered the wrong size

Exceeded expectations
Like the 18" T8 LED Tube Light the light output was much brighter than the fluorescent bulbs it replaced. I was a bit perplexed when the bulb didn't light until I noticed the bulbs had clearly marked polarity. When installed properly they worked great. Since installation, they've had many hours of failure free operation.

Great investment
I bought these because the drivers went out on several of my fixtures. This was by far less expensive than local RV stores and were easy to install. Mine had double tubes so I had to improvise some wiring but wife is happy so I'm happy. Thank You and I recommend this product very highly. I will be ordering more

Worth the money!
Went in great and such an improvement. So glad we switched over to LEDs. Steve was great and helped with what we needed. I have a Class A HR Imperial and so pleased with the change over. I was not sure the light would be better but WOW what a change. Don't let the price stand in your way of doing this.

Great product
Easy conversion. Do yourself a favor though and solder the connections to the old fixture rather than just use the wire nuts. I was pleased with how much light this bulb puts out. No more fighting with the fluorescent fixture to make it work. This is a great product.

Install

fluorescent retrofit
these led's tubes seem to be much brighter than the cool white fluorescents they replaced. Installation was simple due to clear instructions. Overall handling of my order and shipping was exceptional. cannot say enough about M4 Products and their professionalism. it was a pleasure. looking forward to retrofitting my sister-in-law's rig.
