Just what we were looking for!
I have spent many hours looking at different led retro lights. M4 has the best selection, quality and price out there. My wife's eyes are very sensitive to fluorescent lighting so went with the 4500K natural white, looks great. Love the low power draw about 1/2 of the the old fluorescent lighting. We do most of our camping off grid. The color range page is very Informative. We will be buying from M4 again. Great products and prices!

LED Tube Light
The wiring was easy to change. The replacement bulb looks like it is a high quality item with good color.

Great lights and great customer service
I really like the Natural White tube replacements. Big improvement over fluorescent tubes, both in color and brightness. And lower power consumption as well. M4 accidentally shipped three tube lights with a different color temperature, WW instead of NW. When I told them about it, the immediately shipped the correct tubes along with a pre-paid return label. I couldn't be happier.

Very Satisfied
The product was exactly as advertised. It was shipped quickly and received promptly within four days via PRIORITY USPS. The instructions were clear, and the modification of the fixture was easy. I will definitely use this company and product if I have another fluorescent light that I need to switch to LEDs.

Really nice light
The 18" florescent tube LED replacements are beautiful. The rewiring went well. Less amps and less heat, and a little more light. A little pricey but well worth it. My only concern is the solid wire included with the tubes. I don't like to wirenut small stranded wire to a stiff solid conductor so I used a piece of 16 gauge stranded. The bulbs are just great.

I replaced two florescent tubes with one of these!
First, modifying the original florescent fixture was easy, but wire strippers were a big help. When I put two LED tubes in to replace the florescents, we were surprised at how bright they were -- too bright for the location, actually, so I modified a second fixture and went with one LED tube in each. That works fine and in replacing 4 tubes with two, we replaced 60W of florescents with 16W of LEDs! M4 Note: Typically the LED tube are about 10% more light per tube. Some people of course want less light. One tube per fixture works fine, but looking up at the fixture half lit can seem odd for some so we recommend two tubes. Natural White or Warm White color choices can also reduce the visual light.

Wonderful replacement
Installation went well. The instructions are very comprehensive. The LED tubes give more light with less power and look great.
