LED tube lights
We recently purchased 6 tube lights for our RV. The light output is sufficient and the 4500K is a nice natural light. Our only problem was that 3 of the tubes blinked when on for more than about 10 minutes. After consulting with other electricians we decided the drivers were voltage sensitive. We moved the tubes around in the RV and now they all work fine. M4 Note: We worked with the customer on all questions. Bottom line, when they tested the voltage in their RV on shore power, fixtures in the back of the RV were getting 12 volts of power. Fixtures in the front of the RV, at the same time, were getting only 10 volts of power. Folks, this in no way is a tube problem, but a wiring problem in this RV. Your RV system should really never be much below 11 volts in your RV, otherwise you are damaging the batteries, and especially on shore power, you should see a minimal 12.8 volts. I suspect a corroded connection at a switch, connection, or elsewhere in the wiring of this RV, but Gary was not interested in isolating and fixing the problem. Also note this type of RV problem is important to correct as loose connections generate heat and at the extreme can produce spark or fire. As always, we are here to help.

Everybody Loves It!!
Great fluorescent bulb replacement at an exceptional price. Customers come in and buy 1 to see how they like it. They always come back for more.

Good product
Quite easy to install, and the brightness seems to be as good, or better than the old flourescents. Will know more after using the RV and seeing how it does when it's dark outside! I like the natural white color of light. The quality appears to be exemplary.

Glad that I changed to LED
Have wanted to change my fluorescent tubes to LED for some time. I had 12 two tube fixtures to change. After the first one was done and the system/pattern was established; the work went very well and I am very pleased with the natural white color. I was constantly having to change the previous fluorescent tubes and even though they were less expensive it was a real bother to me that they were so short lived! I am rating these 4 star for no other reason than I don't have any other thing to compare them to. Otherwise I would say 5 star. They sure seem to be well designed and built to me!

high quality lights
Very well built lights. The natural lights are a nice and well balanced color.
-
Easy to install
The product is super easy to install. Would recommend them to anyone wanting a quick and easy LED upgrade.
-
Much brighter
This product really brightens up the room. I wired them so you can only run one light in the fixture if you need to when boon docking to save battery power.

Saved a trip to the RV dealer...
I thought we were going to have to replace the fixtures..easy to wire, took about 5 minutes. Much more natural light than the fluorescents we were using....We will be shopping M4 again.
