18 LED tube Lighting retrofit
Product as advertised. Liked the natural white color. Relatively easy to install except not as easy as depicted. My 18 inch light had rivets holding on the ballast cover. I had to remove the light fixture from the RV, drill out the rivets to remove the ballast covers, rewire the fixture per instructions, replace the ballast covers with screws in place of original rivets, and then remount the fixtures to the RV. The process was a little more involved but not difficult wit the right tools. Everything works well and the natural light is so much berrer than the original florecent light. M4 NOTE: Roger. At teh top of the instruction sheet is a link to "additional instructions and examples" which will bring you to you to our resource page at http://m4sales.com. On that page are supplimental instructions for the riveted fixtures (which are much less common). You do not necessarily need to remove the rivets to rewire these, you can drop the fixture and work around it. There is a sharp factory edge to watch out for though. Check out those resources please, or if there are ever any questions when something looks different, please ask.

LED Conversion for Motorhome
Worked just great! Easy conversion for old fluorescent fixtures. Really reduces power requirements and heat. Natural light worked well for the overhead fluorescents to give more overall light inside. Used warm white for reading lights and other incandescents to help with night time sleep hygiene. Best of both worlds for us! Thanks!
