Pros & Cons

Pros

Installation is exactly like replacing your existing florescent bulbs. Removing the ballasts is a pain, but rigging up the wiring is simple enough. Work with or without ballast, single end or double end power.

Love the duel end connections. Came package so well they couldn't get damaged in shipping.

No issues at all, and no dead bulbs in the 20-pack. No more dimming fluorescents or ballast changes. Can't speak on longevity as bought and installed first batch of 20 (redo 5 light fixtures) in january and just purchased another box and did 3 more li...  Read More

Excellent brightness. Good color, no flicker, no hum. Bright, instant on and relatively easy to install.

The parmida led is about 10% brighter than the new fluorescent bulb. Brightness is a little better than the classic fluorescent tubes.



Cons

Each time i flip the switch off/on different one's come on and different ones don't come on. Finished the install, turned power back on and flipped the switch and nothing. Removing one of the bulbs (only one bulb connected) allows the bulb to turn on,...  Read More

Quality


I am impressed with the quality and light output of these tubes


Got that repaired and the lights work very well either with the ballasts or without


Their diagram showing the wiring with the ballast removed is deceiving and not correct


I figured it was something with the lights but

Shipping


Works with or without ballast easy rewire to eliminate ballast if desired shipping package good


We replaced the tombstones and it was super fast


I ordered a box of 20 led tubes and although they arrived on time one corner of the shipping box was crushed and 6 of the tubes...  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


But please consider better packaging or a different primary carrier


Just took out florescent tubes installed these in the ballest type old receptacle

Competitiveness


Each light fixture using 6000k lamps made the shop and storage room much brighter and safe


I purchased these bulbs to replace t8 32w 4100k 3000 lumen fluorescent bulbs in open no lens fixtures in my garage with 8


It took less than 2 hours to relace 6 light fixtures


For general use you may want to install 5000k light tubes

    I personally removed it to “save” on electricity but if you don’t want to remove the ballast and do the bypass these will work regardless


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The lights were starting to die and to be honest replacing lamps in an explosion proof fixture is a pain in the rear


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I found these due to the fact that one they are led and two i dont need a ballast


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I know these can simply run on the existing ballast but a ballast is just an energy sucker and it generates allot of heat


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now in my montage of pictures i posted a wiring diagram or i should say edited version of the diagram provided by this vendor

    Their diagram showing the wiring with the ballast removed is deceiving and not correct


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You only need to engage one pin on each side in order for these lights to work
