Easy install, great light!
Are they expensive? Yes, but they are worth it! There are no LED fixtures out there that will fit or conceal the outline of my current Fluorescent fixture. Since it is recessed I would have to make a lot of modifications or have an ugly hole. These fit the bill perfectly, changing the wiring was very easy, and in about 30 minutes I had it all back together. I love the brightness, I used these in the main kitchen area where I need good task lighting.

Easier than I ever dreamed
This is my second or third order from M4. Product quality and company customer service has always been excellent. Stumbled upon a 5 minute "How to Video, Part 3". This video convinced me to give the project -replacing 3 18" florescent ceiling lights with LED tube lights a try. I watched the video 3 times. Ordered the LED tubes from M4. They arrived 3 or 4 days after order placed. The new LED lights were installed in less than an hour. There is a night and day difference in the amount of light in the RV.

Great LED replacement light
Lots to say so let’s get to it. 1. Extremely quick shipping and packaged better than 99% of the packages I receive. 2. I don’t need the rewiring instructions because of my electrical background, but very well-done intructions! 3. Rotating end-caps that I did not expect. That’s great. 4. I read a review that said they only used (1) bulb per fixture because they are so bright. I ordered (2) bulbs just to try them out. Yup, they are bright enough to only need (1) per double-bulb fixture. 5. Very sturdy and high-quality construction. 6. Pricey for my budget, but well worth it in the end for the level of quality. Overall I am very happy I spent the extra money on these lights.

Very simple installation
I just did our 12" kitchen fixture with M4M bulbs and was very happy. I then ordered the 18" bulbs for the larger fixture and it was even easier to install because the bulb and driver and all in one. I'm not telling my wife to see if she notices the difference in light next week when we leave, but I'm sure she will. On the first fixture I had to call Steve for a clarification as only one bulb lit up: I emailed a pic of my bulb installation and he called right back to tell me what I needed to do(a simple fix). Very impressed with their service. I have the majority of the 12V lights in our motorhome changed to LED and exclusively M4M products.

Easy replacement
Finally, replaced the fluorescent lights. The installation was easy using the video posted by RVgeeks. Took longer to get the old ballast removed than it did to make the wiring changes. Love the lights and the fact that I am reducing the load on the batteries. M4 products are well made quality lights.

Beautiful light
These tubes are really bright and have a great color that blends well with the old fluorescent tubes. They are so bright that I only need one instead of two in a fixture. This is like getting two for one. A pleasant surprise.

This kit is excellent!
Super easy to do, watch the RV Geeks video and follow the written directions. I have zero electrical expertise and I did this in about 10 minutes. Super bright, great addition to our camper. Highly recommended.
