LightingWill LED T8 Light Tube 3FT, Warm White 3000K-3500K, Dual-End Powered Ballast Bypass, 2000Lumens 15W (32W Fluorescent Equivalent), Frosted Cover, AC85-265V Lighting Tube Fixtures, 4 Pack

We have an old four-lamp fluorescent fixture in our kitchen. One of the ballasts was bad. Some time ago, we replaced the fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs that work with the ballasts. Since one of the ballasts was bad, only two of the lamps went on. We lived with that for some time. Then, something happened and all four lamps lit at very low brightness. At that point I decided it was time to do a rewire and make a permanent fix.These bulbs are designed to work with the fluorescent fixture after the ballasts have been bypassed. Some people might think that this is difficult to do. It's not. First, be aware that there are two kinds of LED bulbs that fit into these fluorescent fixtures. The first kind has the positive on one end of the fixture and the common wire on the other side. The second kind is wired so that one pin on each end is for the positive and the other pin is for common.These lamps have the positive on one end and the common on the other. By far, that's the easiest way to wire. All you have to do is turn off the power, open the fixture, and cut all the wires going to the ballasts. We cut them very close to the actual ballasts to give us the most wire to work with. Then simply separate out the wires so that all the wires going to one side of the fixture are separated from the wires going to the other side. There should be no wires going between the two ends of the fixture. Once you do that, simply strip all the wires on each side twist them together and connect them to either the positive or common wires from the power. That's it.This took us all of 10 minutes. The result is for very bright lamps working in that fixture. More important to me, the color of the light is perfect. This is a nice, warm white, the same temperature as incandescent bulbs. I hate the daylight colored bulbs in my house.I strongly recommend using these bulbs to replace and improve old fixtures.

Product was easy to install and gave good light. I had a problem with one of the four lights but got a replacement without any trouble

I got the 3000k and while they look good and they have consistent lighting, I think the advertisement of warm White is false. I have other 3000k 4-ft bulbs but have a much softer, yellowish tint. I would be wary of buying these If you are looking for an accurate warmth.

When its tubes wore out, I converted my old (40 watt) fluorescent fixture with two of these. Now I have more light while using only half as much electricity, and two spares too.It was necessary to rewire my old fixture, bypassing and removing the fluorescent ballast. Unless you have good electrical skills, get an electrician to do this for you.

Purchased in May 2024, by September 2024 1 bulb is dead. Issue is NOT my fixture, because I tried the dead bulb in another fixture that has working bulbs just like this one, and the bulb is dead no matter which fixture installed in. Low Quality these bulbs are. *STAY AWAY*

We love these! They perform as advertised but please ready my ENTIRE review.We purchased the warm color and, after about 20 minutes up and down the ladder removing our ballast and rewiring per the instructions, were rewarded with a reborn, instant-on fixture with exceptionally diffused and even light. Our kitchen has taken on a new and improved look and we're now trying to "re-home" our collection of 48" T8 fluorescent tubes. We are very happy with our purchase and the results.Now for some very important information: When I purchased these there was a warning from Amazon that they are "frequently returned." The video review that is posted as part of the listing is the reason for the frequent returns. If you're replacing fluorescent tubes and your installation takes "30 seconds" like in the video, you have installed these incorrectly and will get proper operation for just a few minutes and then they will dim or flicker or go off. Why? The ballast and starter in the fixture must be bypassed. In other words, there is some simple, minor wiring adjustments that must be made for these to work properly. These are wired directly from the AC coming into the fixture with the common connected to all wires at one end of the fixture and the neutral connected to all the wires at the opposite end. I am confident that the actual customer rating of these would be 4.7 or higher were it not for those reviewing the product after improperly installing the tubes without reading the listing or the directions and without doing the ballast bypass.

Work great. Next day arrival.

These will spontaneously stop working and then lignt back up again - it’s quite frustrating especially because I know there is more juice on them so I don’t want to throw them out :( when they work they are the perfect brightness!
