18" T8 12v Tube Light 4500K
This is my second order of this product. Like the results of my first order for my vanity area so much, I order 10 more lights to upgrade all the rest of the center lights in my 2005 Camelot. When I was replacing the old fluorescent lights, found one of the lens covers had been heated enough from a failing fluorescent light to cause the start of a melt spot. The quality of products continues to be great. Perfect color rendering to the other LED tubes I put in from M4. Now, great lighting in the coach, great color and they all match. Could not bee happier.

18" T8 12v Tube Light 4500K
Purchased 6 of these to upgrade the lights in the "bathroom" area of my 2005 Camelot. Wow, what a difference, lots of light. The color is very close to the fluorescent tubes they replaced and match the 36" tubes I just upgraded with LED tubes in the kitchen area. They arrived quickly, instructions were easy to follow, installation was easy and took little time to complete. I liked them so much, just ordered 10 more to replace the rest of the lights down the center of the coach. Can't beat the aluminum heat sink the LED's are mounted on and the rotating end pins. As usual, can't beat the quality of the product and the product of the company. Steve is quick to help, a wealth of information and responds quickly.

Great Product and Customer Service
I bought 10 of the T8 LED tubes to replace the florescent ceiling lights in my RV. I tried both the NW and CW and like both for different reasons. What separates M4 LEDs from other brands is their attention to detail in the design. The LEDs in these tubes are mounted on an aluminum heatsink which helps dissipate the heat they generate and allows them to run cooler and last longer. They also have rotating end caps which allow you to align the LED strips at their preferred orientation. I am very happy with the LED tubes I purchased from M4LED. And Steve was very helpful with explaining the different options. I will definitely buy more LEDs from M4LED.

Amazing amount of light
Bought these for my single battery truck camper. Was wanting to reduce power demands and converted everything to LED. I used these in the fixture above the dining table. They put out way more light than the fluorescent tubes, and the 5050 tape strips they replaced. Highly recommended.

Excellent product with exceptional service
I have a vintage 1985 AlpineLite 5th wheel. Just starting to restore & convert the lighting to LED. I called M4 after seeing a YouTube from RV Geeks on their LED conversion. I spoke with Steve the owner of M4 & he asked what was the end result I was looking for. What a great question! So I ordered the Natural White, which is still a bit on the bright side, but you can turn the tube ends to diffuse the light & get exactly the brightness you would like. At times you want it to be brighter, like if you dropped a small object & need to get on your hands & knees to find it. Other times you may want it a little less bright. Great product because you can control these, unlike other products on the market. I highly recommend these.

Quality product
Great product and very well made. Simple installation and no more trips to Home Depot for fluorescent bulbs. Have switched to LED in 3 fixtures so far, 5 more to go.

Light Output is Brilliant
I recently purchased three T8-120-3528-18-CW (F15T8) Cool White 18" T8 LED Tube Light 12v 6000k without removing the fixture lens cover to replace a failing light – my bad. As it turns out when the cover was removed the failed bulb was a Standalone-CW Cool White Self Contained 18” T8 LED Tube Light. I believe I can make the tube light work if I had a clip for the round tube; does such a clip exist? If so, what is the part number so I can order two to replace the much wider clip used for the Standalone-CW Cool White Self Contained light. The remaining two bulbs will be used to replace the existing fluorescent bulbs in a separate (not yet modified) fixture. M4 Note: Standard replacements do not use a clip, they are held in by the electrical pins at the end of the tube. The socket is called a T8 socket. If somebody has removed you T8 sockets, you can get replacements at your local hardware store.
