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 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!

LEDs replaces florresence bulds
With some m4 tech support, I was able to purchase the right LEDs and the printed instructions were easy step by step to follow.

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.

Easy to install. Excellent light
These are brighter than the florescent lights that they replaced. Very easy to install. Took about 2 hours to replace 5 double bulb light fixtures.

Great Lighting. Very well made.
I went with M4 because of a video by RVGeeks. I find the quality of the product and ease of installation makes this purchase highly worthwhile. I just replaced two bulbs because of a ballast fire. After that scare and seeing how easy it was to convert to this wonderful product and excellent upgrade to the RV I'm planning on a whole RV conversion to M4 led products.

Truly Daylight Balanced
We live on a sailboat that has "white-ish" fiberglass walls and lots of daylight flooding in. I absolutely hate mixed lighting so proper color temperature is extremely important to me. These bulbs have a nice color that seems to match the color temperature of the natural light bouncing around our cabins and heads. Lots of brightness, proper color and less power consumption...no complaints here.
