    I'm converting my older fluorescent lights to brighter LED lamps. These lamps are a great replacement, along with changing the old ballast to an electronic ballast. once ballast is replaced, lamp replacement is direct replacement.

    These were very easy to install and well made. I did have to go through a few boxes as some were broken during transport.

    Using Light
    Easy installation. 1 of 2 tubes was used. Both work…hopefully the used 1 was simply returned w/out extended usage, and I get just as must life (light) out of it, as the other tube. 1970’s bathroom…just needed light.

      Perfect replacements for regular fluorescent tubes
      I did my third retrofit of three fixtures at home. The second and third use these 48 inch T8 tubes. For these fixtures I replaced their ballasts due to their age. The lights are perfect replacements. Same color (I have 3000K) and similar brightness as the flourescents they replaced. The only issue is they may take a couple of seconds to come full brightness. Not sure if this is related to the ballast used. I included a picture of the ballast used in both fixtures, purchased both in HD.

        Replaced garage lights
        Had some what I believe were ballastless fluorescent garage lights hanging from the ceiling in garage and 4 of 6 were burned out. I wanted to upgrade to led but didn’t want to deal with a difficult conversion. I bought these Phillips led universal fit type a bulbs that were plug and play. All 6 bulbs replaced in under 15 minutes and 4000k has a nice warm daylight color. Ezy Pezy if you’re looking for a quick upgrade without a hassle. Sold in 2 packs and light instantly.
