Replaced Thin- Lite 556 fluorescent tubes
Worked great for the lance truck camper thin- lite 556 less than half the price for a new led fixture .

Quality and Bright!
Almost done upgrading all my lights with M4, got all the little bulbs done. Just installed 2 of these cool white tube lights in a burnt out fluorescent fixture with ballast. Now of course my fixture was very different from the directions but after watching some videos and comparing to the directions it took me about 20 minutes. Will be ordering 3 more sets. Just hope the tube lights last a long time as they are a bit pricey but much cheaper than a whole new fixture. I trust M4 products. Before I found M4 I tried the cheap Chinese ebay led lights (for small fixtures) and they lasted about 2 months (truth!)

Another A+
This was my second installation of M4 LED tubes in our motorhome. The first was about a year ago when four 48" tubes were installed. They have worked flawlessly since. This install was two 18" tubes in bathroom area. Easy install and they look great. So happy to be rid of those annoying ballasts. Thanks for a great product.

Perfect replacement for 18" fluorescent bulbs
I have been looking for an LED replacement so I could get rid of the fluorescent bulbs which didn't give enough light and the color (Kelvin) was too yellow. The cool white bulbs makes the surfaces of everything it shines on, look new. The lumens from the LED bulbs really lights up the sink and range in our RV. These 18" bulbs were just what I have wanted for a couple of years.

Great product
Installation was easy, just follow the directions.

Exactly as advertised and easy to install
Put in 3 sets of bulbs in 34' motorhome and they work great. Makes everything brighter and cleaner white. Use 1/3 electricity. Would highly recommend.

LED Replacement Lights
These LED light tubes are a great replacement for 12 volt fluorescent lights. If the ballast has gone bad in your RV’s fluorescent light fixture. It’s more cost effective to convert the fixture to LED than replace it with another fluorescent fixture. As a bonus you get a better brighter light fixture.

Great products and company
Have replaced all the 18-inch florescent tubes and vanity globes in our motorhome with LEDs from M4. The items are good quality, carefully packed and shipped quickly. Instructions for rewiring were included along with wire nuts and extra wire. Will be doing more replacements and they will come from M4.
