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.
4500k Natural White. For 6000k Cool White see part number T5-Tube-CW. 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 replacement
These tubes offer an excellent replacement when you have a bad ballast and you're faced with either replacing the ballast or replacing the fixture. I got to keep our original fixture and got a brighter light. Instant on with no warm up to get full brightness. Very energy efficient. Great value for long term benefits. I expect that I will replace expended fluorescent tubes with these bulbs as well.

Great replacement
I ordered two bulbs to replace the two OEM flourescent bulbs. I hooked one up per instructions and couldn't get the second one to light up, but I think it was my not connecting it properly. I was running short on time, so I decided to try the fixture with the one bulb and it seems to be just a bright with one bulb as the two old bulbs. I will try again to connect the second bulb again and see what happens. So far, I am verry impressed as I am with all the M4 Products I have used in the past. You are my go-to site for 12V LED bulbs. M4 Note: The T5 tube is polarity sensitive and marked DC+ at one end, DC- at the other. Look at the markings and Turn it around, 9 times out of 10.

Nice lights to replace old tubes.
Replaced old T5 tubes with these instead of replacing entire fixture because the ballast went out on the old florescent lights. Followed wiring instructions and all is good with better than OEM lights now.

Great lighting and instructions!
We love these bulbs and the energy reduction we will have in the future! Changing the wiring was easy with the detailed instructions M4 provided AND the GREAT videos on YouTube by RVGEEKS Even better than these bulbs is the customer service of M4! So helpful in assisting us in determining the correct bulbs and type to replace all of our bulbs with LED. THANK YOU M4!

Simply the Best!
M4 Products sells simply the best LED for RV's. You can buy less expensive but if you look and compare products the quality is with M4. I prefer to spend maybe a bit more but gain a superior product.
