F15T8 LED Replacement
Product as described, easy to install. I purchased these LED replacements because the 960 Lumens exceeded that of a F15T5 fluorescent tube at 825. Most replacement do not. Also I wanted 6000 Kelvin or greater. These were installed in my motorhome.

Best thing since sliced bread...
I've just replace the next three (3) in a series of 12 fixtures and amazed at the difference in the amount of light I now have in my RV. When I have friends over they even comment about the new lights. One of the best things is I've got the rewiring of the fixtures down to under ten (10) minutes. With only four (4) fixtures to go I wonder what I'll do next??

Cool White LED
I am so pleased with the lights I have installed so far that I ordered more. I was going to replace them a few at a time, but they made such a difference I decided to "bite the bullet" and do all of them. Glad I did. I am looking forward to boondocking more this summer and these will help me not use up my battery. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Customer service is outstanding! I wasn't paying attention and ordered the wrong bulb. Very easy to exchange!

Cool White LED
The CW LED lights are so bright and we can actually see in our bedroom now with just one fixture replaced. We hope to replace them all as we are able. Thanks to M4 Products for excellent customer service!

Great Lights
I am so pleased with the first two that I have already ordered two more. My fluorescent fixtures lose one bulb function (even though there is only one ballast) and that has been annoying. The LED replacements are easy to install ( the instructions are excellent) and produce great light.

Bright Lights
I'm very very pleased with these lights. They really brighten up my dimly lite coach. The fluorescent lights they replaced are no match for these leds lights. The service I received from M4 was top notch. Thankyou M4 for a great product and service. We will be doing business again soon.

Excellent Versatile 12-Volt LED Replacement for 18-inch Fluorescent Tubes
Great product! Am using these bright cool white LED tubes to replace 18-inch fluorescent tubes in my six 12-volt RV 2-tube ceiling fixtures. Have same configuration as fluorescent tubes and use the fixture's original sockets for mounting and direct 12-volt power connections. Simple fixture rewiring removes the fluorescent ballast from the circuit so that 12-volt positive (+) power is connected to one end of the LED replacement and 12-volt negative (-) to the other end. The LED tube is versatile in that (1) polarity does not matter and tube can be reversed end-for-end in the fixture, and (2) the 2-prong end caps (duplicative of the fluorescent tubes) can be rotated 1/4 turn (90 degrees) to make the LED tubes point downward, regardless of the position of the fixture's mounting sockets.

Great product!
The LED replacement fluorescent tubes both the T8 and T5 units met my expectations 100% and the customer service was great ! I will be purchasing more of there products as I continue to convert all of the lights on my Newmar Dutch Star. Lots of plans for boondocking and the LEDs are a great wattage saver!
