Survived IRMA
I started my conversion to LED with the smaller bulbs then moved on to replace the tubes. The T8-120-3528-18 replacements were very easy to install, completed just a couple of days before leaving on vacation. They performed very well during the trip which became extended by 7 days as Hurricane IRMA came directly over our home so we stayed North. Very easy to install, fantastic light and saved our batteries while we dry camped.

Fantastic replacement
Our experience with switching over to LED on all the different types of lights found in our coach has been very mixed. Not any more, these m4 natural LED lights for all of our 18" fluorescent fixtures are wonderful! Very good light and easy to do the switch over. We will be buying more to continue the change over.

Clean install
I bought enough bulbs to replace 3 failed ballasts. The install videos on youtube made the conversion of the fixture pretty simple and I like how they mimic the other florescents in my coach. I initially ordered the cool white as that is what my existing bulbs are, but they were too cool, so I swapped them for the natural white. Much closer in color. While there are cheaper solutions using led strips, this is a very elegant solution which I prefer. Customer service was great! Order shipped quickly, and my swapping for different color bulbs was painless and quick.

Delivers on promise.
Followed the RVGeeks video to rewire the fluorescent fixture. Nice & easy to follow. New LED bulbs worked immediately and look great.

Good Product
This was fairly easy to install. It puts out great light, how-ever I wish the output was a little more diffused. One definitely knows there are two bulbs in the fixture. It still does a great job.

Great product
I have used several replacement kits. M4 is the best. A little spendy, but well worth it. Shipped promptly, well packed, good instructions, as always, worked perfectly - what's not to like. Takes about 15 minutes to install, start to finish.

Easy to Install
Ordered the LED 18" tubes and within 3-4 days received the order. The installation was a breeze and I had the tubes installed within 10-15 minutes. They worked great the first time and I'm very pleased with them.

Very professional
Very professional. Steve is great! Tubes were very easy to install and they improved the lighting quality in my motorhome measurably.

Installed easily & worked great!
I installed 8 tubes in the existing fixtures of my 2006 Tiffin Phaeton and all worked perfectly. The instructions were easy to follow and they fit perfectly. The only difficulty was the fixtures in the Phaeton were riveted closed, so the rivets had to be drilled out, but that's certainly not the fault of the bulbs! :) The bulbs are nice and bright and there's no more flicker! Thank you for such a great product!
