After confirming that "plug and play" bulbs (such as the Feit Electric) are not compatible with the ballasts in my vintage Dazor, I bypassed the ballasts and rewired the original switch to route hot to both leads of one end of each bulb and neutral to both leads of the other end of each bulb, popped in these Fulight bulbs, and they illuminate instantly, brightly, and silently! 4k might be a better color than 3k for desk work.

Many of us have RVs, boats, etc. that have nice 12 volt fluorescent fixtures that are hard to replace with something else and there are no parts like starters and ballasts to fix them. These tube lights fit perfectly and look and provide light the same as the old fluorescents. I had no problems rewiring the old fixtures per the included instructions. These tubes are a great product for a reasonable price that, for me, solved big problems trying to replace non-working fixtures.

I got 2 warm white 3000K RV 12V LED bulbs after I deleted the ballast in my RV restoration project dinette light fixture. Took some soldering and heat shrink to extend the short fixture wires from Lance while bypassing the ballast circuit board, but my novice work appears serviceable and functions well, so yay! The light quality is greatly improved over the cool white florescent. No flickers and instant on. The instructions where informative and lead me in the right direction, though Lance's wire colors didn't help much (black, blue, red & white).

I used the Fulbright LED tube to replace a failed fluorescent stove hood lamp and upon receiving it I was pleased with the aluminum heat sink. Once the rewiring was complete & the lamp was in place I switched it on and once again we have good clean light over the stove and just in time for the holidays.

I used to use the "plug and play" (type A) tube. Recently, due to the ballast failure I decided to change the entire wiring for ballast bypass tube (type B). There are two version of type B tube - single-ended or double-ended. I decided to go with double-ended type for better connection to the old holder.I chose this seller because other seller required me to buy 4 which I do not need - I have not done rewiring before and I do not want to buy more than I need. Thanks to the packaged instruction everything works as expected.One bonus of removing the ballast is that the annoying low frequency hum from the ballast is also gone.The only downside is this tube is not as bright as the old type A tube I used.Not sure how long will this last but for now, I'll give 4.5/5 for this product.

I had a single bulb ballast on an older fixture that went out. The ballast was very very expensive and I almost decided to replace the entire fixture. Once I realized I can simply convert to an LED bulb I looked up this product and it worked perfectly. The instructions were very easy to read and the conversion is super simple.The light works fantastic and it is much brighter than the original, and it also does not make the cabinet hot like the old ballast did.

I had an under the cabinet CFL tube lighting go out (hard wired fixture) go out on me. Tried changing the bulb, then the starter - nothing. I opened it up and was going to try and replace the ballast but the darn thing was riveted into the fixture. I had 2 choices - either replace the fixture or convert it to LED. I did some research and although I did not find exactly the fixture that matched mine, I figured the steps were easy enough to replicate.Rewiring was not hard - just confusing at first. Definitely shut off the breaker before doing anything. The instructions that came with it was easy enough to follow and this thing worked like a charm. When you buy an LED tube, make sure that you buy the one where you can rotate the ends. Unlike normal CFL tube, only half of the LED tube lights up so you would have to position the lighted part to the right angle so it provides the light downward. Otherwise, it will be at an angle if it does not rotate.Bottom line, this thing is bright easy enough to install and I am very happy with it!

These bulbs are an exact size replacement for our bathroom F15T8 Florescent bulbs.The 3000 Lumens warm white are the perfect match for the florescent warm white.Just be sure to measure old bulbs as per Fulight instructions, and you can't go wrong.Ballast bypass rewiring was a simple quick job. Well explained in enclosed instructions.

I had already replaced the old fluorescent bulb in our Vent-A-Hood range hood three times, the starter once and was looking at replacing the ballast when I found this product.If you are handy, the installation is no problem. I permanently removed the ballast, starter and starter socket. I should have done this years ago instead of wasting money on flickering fluorescent bulbs.BTW, I thought the shipping and handling charges were a bit high, until I unwrapped the product...The bulb was packed so well in foam protectors that you could have used the package as a baseball bat without damaging the bulb. Excellent product! Excellent shipping!

Plug in replacement for fluorescent tube light. Very important to remove the old ballast. In my case the ballast was dead and that old style is no longer available. This bulb saved my from replacing the light fitting
