18" retrofit tubes
I really like these. Replaced the fluorescent tubes in a dual fixture, which was an improvement, and then compared them to the LED tubes in another fixture. About the same, but they were the ones with tiny wires coming out of the sides, which always seemed a little suspect. So I replaced those too. The rewiring instructions are straightforward, and uses real wire, not Chinese threads. I got the 4500s. It's a good balance between yellow and blue/white.

Exceeded expectations!
The build quality is excellent, and what made us REALLY happy is the light tone. It’s not harsh, cold or too bright. 4500K is perfect for the interior of our RV.

Excellent product!
Replaced the 18” fluorescent tubes in our bathroom ceiling fixture with these LED tubes and WOW!! First and foremost the retrofit is super easy using the included instructions and the RV Geeks videos. The light output is far superior to the old fluorescent tubes and the dramatic reduction in power usage is huge. Time will tell on their longevity but M4 products have always been very high quality. Highly recommend this upgrade!!
