very fragile- avoid
This tube cracked under normal handling during installation. Perhaps it had a crack to begin with, I don't know, it did not take any hard bumps during installation. It was much more fragile than a standard T8 bulb, or the GE made LED I replaced it with. I would not buy this brand again

    Easy install with knowledge of basic electrical. Worked perfectly and I experienced no buzzing or interference with all three of our garage door openers. We used the 5k daylight bulbs and the shop is so much brighter and even looks cleaner.

    Improved lighting in garage.
    I bought 3 2packs (6 bulbs) 4 were defective ( 1 did not light 3 1/2 lit) returned and got 4 more all OK -- much brighter than same rated fluorescent, no flicker and unlike fluorescent stays bright in cold 35 degree garage. Extra time going for replacements was annoying. Rewiring was easy about 15 -- 20 minutes per fixture. Bulbs do not sag.

    So far, I'm happy with the bulbs. I replaced 8 pairs of bulbs. Out of 16 total bulbs, one was defective and had to be returned/replaced. A little annoying. Further, Home Depot seems to do a pretty terrible job of protecting the bulbs on the shelf. The first three pairs of bulbs I pulled off the shelf were smashed and had cracked tubes and I had to let a store employee know. Buy with caution.

    Good if the light fixture is on the floor.
    I already had one of these bulbs go bad at 6 months of usage. Half of the bulb lights while the other half stays out. Another thing these bulbs have a tendency to do is rotate in their sockets. I am putting these bulbs in existing T-12 fixtures in our plant and about half of them so far rotates 180 degrees severely decreasing its light output. No matter how careful I am to get the back of the LED strip centered on the top the bulb slowly rotates until the back of the LED strip is on the bottom.

      Floresent to LED Change Out
      Used 2 of these to Change a 8 ft T8 florescent fixture to a direct wired LED fixture. Only had to replace the old tube sockets. Wow what an improvement and did not require removal of the fixture either.

      Bright but flimsy
      The lights are very bright. Easy to install. They are not a solid give per se. It is plastic and semi flexible. I had to support them in the middle so they don't sag.

        Great led upgrade option
        Was looking at different option to upgrade to led to save energy and hopefully get more light. Bought 2 sets of Halcon lights yesterday super bright. Simple wire bypass of the ballast. Just wire one side of fixture to the hot (black) wires and the opposite side of fixture to neutral (white). Takes longer to get out the ladder and clean dust and moths up then the wiring. Thank you for making a great product at half the price of a new fixture.

          These replaced 4 flourescent bulbs in 2 fixtures within one bulb in each fixture. The light intensity was equivalent.
