Great product
These were easy to convert and install. They put out more light than the fluorescent tubes they replaced. Reason I ordered the first ones was to repair a fixture with a bad ballast. I'm ordering more to upgrade the remainder of my fluorescent lights.

Great alternative...
Took about 30 minutes to remove, un-wire and re-wire the fluorescent unit. Great instructions to re-wire around the ballast. Left the ballast in with the ability to re-wire because I didn't want to tear out the rivets. Great light at a much lower energy usage. Fluorescent bulbs generated a heat, i.e. wasted energy... The LED are pretty cool to the touch and put out a very nice light... And best of all, the price was right! Bought three pair as a test run. Very happy with the results and will be ordering two more pair to complete my LED internal conversion.

No Better Way to Go!!
I replaced the fluorescents because we do a lot of dry camping in our Class A 2006 Bounder. The fixtures are a little different than pictured in the instructions but anyone with basic electrical knowledge should have no problem with the install. Took about the 30 minutes described. The difference is outstanding! Highly Recommended. Super Fast Shipping!

LED Replacement for Fluorescent Lights
One of our fluorescent fixtures quit and a new one cost about $40 and wouldn't match the other one. These were lights that we use a lot and were replacing blubs quite often. I decided to try the fluorescent replacement LED blubs. The modification of the fixtures was easy and I rewired both fixtures in about 30 minutes. Bulbs work well and I got the brighter blubs and we have more light. Hope these last for a long time.
