3 Reasons To Buy M4 LEDs
I recently purchased two of the 18" tube LEDs to replace the florescent bulbs in one of the fixtures in my RV. There are many other brands out there that you can buy that are probably less expensive. The reasons that the M4 bulbs are better are: 1) The contact pins on the ends of the tubes rotate so that the LEDs can be aimed in the direction that works best. 2) They have an aluminum heatsink which will prolong the life span of the bulbs. 3) They are pretty easy to install. I will definitely be purchasing more of these LEDs to replace the rest of the florescent tubes in the RV.

LED Tubes
Tubes are expensive, but easy to wire up and very bright.

Second order
Ordered lights for half the RV a few months ago. Very easy to install/convert with the Youtube video and the provided instructions. Made another order a few weeks ago and now RV is 100% LED. Thanks M4:)

Fixed my problem
These led tubes are great. Easy to retrofit and provide excellent light. These lights corrected my problem with my air conditioner shutting down when i turned on the old fluorescent fixture that i had replaced recently.

Bright!
I like light and these bulbs supply it in mass quantities. Don't yet know the longevity or the energy savings, but light output is awesome. If bright light isn't your thing though you might want to opt for the warm white.

Easy conversation
I converted one light fixture in my RV to the LED tubes. They are pretty easy to install and give great light. Less expensive than a new fluorescent fixture.
-
Easy install
I found the M4 Youtube video closely mirrored the provided instructions and made the whole install/conversion a VERY easy process. M4 Note: Just a quick note, the video you found is probably made by TheRVGeeks and featured M4 tubes. Great to hear it helped though!

Love them
I had installed these bulbs in a couple of fixtures about a year ago and love them so much I purchased the bulbs for the other lights in my RV. They are fairly easy to install and give great light.
