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.

It was easy to replace the 18" florescent lights with the LED lights. M4 Products provide basic instructions for the Do It Yourselfer. I am pleased with the lights and the service I received from M4.
