ADD RUN TIME TO YOUR COACH BATTERIES
REPLACED THE FLUORESCENT T8 LAMPS WITH THE M4 LED LAMPS.
WIRING WAS EXACTLY AS PRINTED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. REMOVING THE FLUORESCENT BALLAST LOAD, WAS INDICATED ON THE DIGITAL VOLTMETER INSTALLED IN THE CONTROL CENTER. THE VOLTAGE DID GO LOWER WITH THE FLUORESCENT LAMPS BUT NO CHANGE WITH THE NEW M4 LED'S! MUCH LESS LOAD AND MORE LIGHT OUTPUT. INSTANT ON. A GREAT UPGRADE. -
Lose the ballast!

Good instructions, well-made, nice warm white color
I love these fluorescent replacement tubes! The rewiring was easy and it's nice to be able to aim the tubes since the end caps can rotate like a ratchet. M4 even threw in a sticker to warn people that the fixture has been rewired.

easy install
Good light color. Not to white or to yellow Easy install. Just make one end positive and one end negative. No additional parts.

good product
The lights were very east to install, I was wanting a brighter light but these are ok. Delevery was very fast and all lights worked when installed.
M4 Note: John, these are 10% brighter than fluorescent -if- you ordered the same color range (kelvin). This order is 3200k Warm White, ordering 4500k Natural White or 6000k Cool White would give you a whiter visibly brighter light. Contact me with any options / concerns / questions, glad to help. - Steve
