18 inch NW tube lights
Our fifth wheel is seven years old and a few of the ballasts in the fluorescent lights have been failing. We have replaced the entire fixture. The LED tube lights eliminates the ballasts and the rewire is simple with the included instructions. When the light is on you cannot see the individual LED's inside the bulbs that is fantastic. The 2 bulbs cost less than the fixture and we like them so much we will be replacing all our fluorescent bulbs with the LED tubes in the near future.

Sweet and Simple
The 18' LED Tube lights arrived in only a couple days. Customer assistance via e-mail was very quick to answer questions about application. It was extremely easy to figure out the positive and negative wires and still keep the switch on the light fixture itself. The lights are fantastic. I ordered the cool white and it outshined the other fluorescent fixtures. I'd recommend these tubes to others even though they are a little pricy. They are well worth the money spent and saves tons of energy in the long run.

Great Product
Thought of everything on this one: 1) Instructions are complete and easy to follow even for someone with moderate electrical expertise. 2) Frosted tubes keep individual LEDs from being visible. 3) Rotating end caps are really convenient! I plan to buy more to upgrade rest of tubes in coach. GREAT PRODUCT!

New lights are awesome
It took awhile to understand how to rewire the fixtures but thanks to RVgeeks.com I was able to convert the lights. It's not a hard job once you figure it out. RVgeeks has a very good video on how to make the change. Lights are very bright. I just bought enough for to convert 2 fixtures to see how we liked them. I now plan to order more and convert several others.

T8 LED Tubes
The ballast in some of my light fixtures in the RV had failed. I decided not to replace the fixtures and just replace the bulbs with LED bulbs. I bypassed the ballast and put in the LED tubes. They work great and put out a lot of light.

Great Product
It was easy to install and the light from it is great. The reduction in power usage and heat is a big plus.
