Pros & Cons
Pros
They provide good light and work as advertised. Easy to install. My personal recommendation is that if you're looking to upgrade, these are the lights to do it with.
Youtube video on how to rewire tombstone lights. Need to recycle the old ballasts. Work with or without ballast.
Light output of this fixture with the leds appears about 50% brighter than the fixture with florescent tubes still in it. In actuality, when i use a light meter, it's about 20% brighter (old fixture at 1500 lux, new at 1800 lux) i think the color temp... Read More
Great bulbs for the price and a huge energy saver. Probably some more cashed saved on monthly electric bill. Good system, certainly more efficient than the old incandescent.
My old bulbs are a little yellower. The color is whiter than the old fluorescent tubes, but it isn't bluish like a 5k or 6k color temperature would be. The yellowish colored lights are theold fluorescent lamps. This one bulb replaces all others.
Cons
They require that the ballasts be electrically bypassed, necessitating the disassembly of each fixture to bypass the ballast wiring. They're promoted as being electronic ballast compatible.
Took me days and hours trying to get them on the phone, they only reply to email. Notified amazon of this issue today. Had to return them. Still waiting for a response from the seller.
Highlights
Quality
The lamps are instant start and are brighter than the florescents which they replaced
These were easy to install and were the last bulbs for us to replace and make our house go all led
After around 15000 hours these bulbs will start popping and burning literally and come flying out of your fixture
The led’s are much brighter and are instantly on every time the switch is flipped
Price
Great bulbs for the price and a huge energy saver
I get sick of replacing ballasts and they’re expensive
Probably some more cashed saved on monthly electric bill
Shipping
Lights all arrive safely next day and have worked just fine so far
In customer service within 12 hours and replacement bulbs within 3 days delivered in perfect condition by fedex
So that takes about 2 to 3 months to receive and is about 2
The problem is that we have to go through an export company because we can only purchase materials that are shipped and sold by... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Bought these a while back and i would have to say fantastic packaging and did exactly what the product described
The color and brightness are good along with the packaging as well
Im just bothered that only choices are return the box or forget it
But please consider better packaging or a different primary carrier
Competitiveness
Though i am now running them in ballast bypass they worked fine with the previous advance and osram ballasts
😂😂😂 they are so hard to get in vs any other brand
If you look at the pictures you will see comparisons between the old and new

Usually i bypass the ballast and use the labels they include to put on the fixture indicating that the fixture has no ballast

I’ve tried several brands and some that are “plug and play” won’t work always but these do
