Nice upgrade
Upgraded my old bedroom lights with these. They are brighter and look like fluorescents. They have great diffusion and you cannot see the LED's.

Great replacement for 12" tubes
Brighter lighting for small tubes

The Best LED florescent replacement bulbs
We have one other brand LED florescent replacement in our coach. The M4 Natural Light are the very best. The rewiring instructions are excellent. The 12" are different from the 18" and longer so be careful with them. We got both 18" and 12". Glad I read the instructions for both before starting.

LED Florescent 12 v
Fairly easy to install wiring. Not so easy to put in tubes. M4 Note: Unclear of customers trouble installing the tubes themselves. They go in like the originals. You do need to hold them by the end caps when installing so that the rotatable end caps don't turn if they are a twist lock.

Wow - Once again I am impressed
I have a 1997 Holiday Rambler Imperial Select 5th wheel. We rarely use the overhead florescent lights because they always seem to be out (whether we use them or not) and they just don't put out as much light as I wish they world. Well, not any more. I replaced the bulbs in one fixture last night (two bulbs) and wow, what a difference. I replace two existing bulbs with two natural white (my preferred color) led bulbs last night and was quite impressed at the difference. You get more light, you get less heat and you use less DC power. What is not to like about that. The fixtures I replaced have side facing pins (very nice extruded aluminum fixtures) but since the tubes have rotating pins I was able to face the light downward. The installation is also straightforward if you know anything about DC electrical. If you like the florescent tube light you will love these replacements.

Second Batch....
After replacing the florescent bulbs in 3 fixtures, I was so pleased with the results that I decided to also replace the florescent bulbs in the final two fixtures in my Lazy Daze coach. Thanks to M4 Products all my inside lights are now LED's...

Excellent Upgrade for your RV
Heard about the product via the website TheRVGeeks.com. Purchase the 18 tube lights because I had 2 ballast going bad. The bad ballast were causing my HVAC system to lock up so I figured it was a good excuse to begin converting over to LED. I placed the order on a Monday evening. Process was very easy. I was impressed that the ordered arrived Thursday afternoon. What makes it significant is I used the 'free' delivery option and the lights were traveling from California to Delaware. Very fast. It was very easy to install the new LED tubes. We very much like the color selection and the brightness of the new bulbs. Looking forward to continue the conversion process. Highly recommended.

Impressed with ease of retrofit.
Installation was a breeze and the video really helped. I had a ceiling light ready to go out and thought I would try this approach. It cost me about $35 to send another fixture to manufacturer for repair. Cost for LED replacement was over $50 but will try to replace as needed so I do not end up with sticker shock as this is the only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5.
