Pros & Cons
Pros
Led t8 replacement tubes are excellent. Now my office lights turn on instantly and are much brighter than with the standard t8 florescent tubes i used to have. Plug and play lighting with instant start.
Double ended wiring makes conversion simple, no need to replace shunted tombstones. No need to rewire to bypass ballast.
Double-sided (or two-sided) are safer/easier because you run hot to one end (doesn't matter which), and neutral to the other end of the fixture. On a dual t8 fixture running 277v with ballast bypassed, 1 bulb is comparable to 2 fluorescent ones.
Cons
The daylight t8 fluorescent tubes its supposed to replace, are a lot brighter (and whiter) than what these led tubes would give you. There is also a thick white plastic piece on the ends that goes down the back of the bulb.

Not a huge fan of the delay when turning on the lights but that is more an led light issue and not an issue with this product

Mounted them first without removing the ballast and they worked ok but because of the ballast there was a little delay in them coming on

So then i removed the ballast

Light coverage is good however i would suggest purchasing defused lenses as the leds are directional not a problem but a little harsh when looking arcross the room and the lamps are in your field of view

Frosted lenses would prevent this
