Nice, bright 4ft bulbs
Plugged in the bulbs and they worked immediately. Important: don't use these bulbs unless you remove or bypass the ballast. Good price. Works well so far.

Easy and bright, very satisfied.
These are exactly what I was looking for. I purchased some used florescent fixtures so I could have LED fixtures with replaceable lamps at a great price. I paid less per complete fixture than buying whole new fixtures at the big box stores, and I like this better too.It is simple to wire these up, line to one end - neutral to the other. Just cut out the ballast and direct wire the bulbs. I am very satisfied with them out of the box. They lit up my garage nicely.One FYI note, these are not diffused, you see the individual LEDs directly. It is fine for what I want, but they are a little harder on the eyes if you are going to be working close to them.If there are any problems I will be back to update this review.UPDATE: After 10 months I am just as happy with the lights as when I installed them. All LED bulbs are still working well.

Good bulbs for ballast bypass.
I converted 8 old ballast style fluorescent fixtures and replaced them all with these bulbs. The bulbs are bright and have been going strong for several months. The only thing I didn't care for was the plastic they put over the bulbs is stuck into the ends and was a pain to fully extract.

Did not last two years of using one or two days a year.
They advertise that they are 50,000 hours. NOT TRUE!! We have used them about 2,000 hours and half of them are not working. We have three light fixtures and at least one or two bulbs are out in each fixture. Even if these lights were on 40 hrs a week for 50 weeks a year that would still only be 4,500 hours since we purchased them!! DO NOT BUY!

Easy install.
The media could not be loaded. Super easy to convert. Product is as described. Converting all of my old T8 shop lights with ballast to LED. Highly recommend.

Amazing lighting upgrade! Must rewire fixture.
Just check out the picture showing difference! In my garage/workshop so no longer have buzzing noises and flickering lights when colder out. So much brighter now that I have 18 of them on the ceiling total in fixtures! I can actually see to work!You must take out the old ballast and wire past it. My ballast had wiring diagram on it for reference which helped. The existing wires did not reach so I had to add wiring with proper gauge/connectors. This is not for a novice. If you have done experience done electrical and have a meter (check wiring continuity) you should be fine. Otherwise get help from a friend who does know to prevent possible shock or even fire hazard.

Great inexpensive LED bulbs.
We converted old fluorescent fixtures to LED. Only needed 2 LED’s for every 4 fluorescent bulbs. Light weight, nice and bright, ease to install. No worries about glass bulbs.

Very happy!
Easy install. Happy I was able to remove the ballasts and use line voltage. I'm satisfied with 1 LED tube for every 2 fluorescents I removed in my basement. Originally had 4 fluorescents per fixture in kitchen, but now only running 2 per fixture. Still crazy bright! And I have no worries about leaving them on since they're LED. Plenty of light output, wide angle. Had an issue with 2 tubes (1 wouldn't power on and 1 flickers occasionally) Seller took care of me.I like the plastic covering, so no worries about broken glass tubes from mishandling.Update 10/7/22:I've had about 4 tubes total that I've had to replace which I don't think is too bad since first installing them. A few have a single flickering chip but nothing that is distracting. I've even turned several of the tubes to face upwards so it's not so bright.Update 7/8/2024:I've used the last replacement bulb I had today. I run 24 tubes between my kitchen and basement (1 pack) and I had a handful that were D.O.A. when I first purchased where the seller sent me a replacement pack at a discount. I can't remember if that pack had a few dead ones too, but if assuming it did, I'm guessing I've replaced 20 tubes in a matter of 4 yrs (?)
