Fulight Type B & Rotatable LED F15T8 Tube Light-18-Inch (17-3/4 Inches Actual Length) 1.5FT 7W, Daylight 6000K, Double-End Powered, Frosted Cover, 85-265VAC (Not a Plug-and-Play)

I have a 60 year old chrome fluorescent fixture above my kitchen sink that I really don't want to get rid of. Between bulbs and starters it seems like I'm putting money into it every few months. Now I think the ballast is dying. This bulb was the best solution I could find. Installation is very easy, but of course you have to rewire the fixture. If I had just disconnected the ballast and rewired the fixture it probably would have been done in 5-10 minutes, but I decided to completely remove the old ballast, clean the fixture and rewire the power switch. Instructions are clear and simple. Just connect each AC wire to a different socket - black to one end and white to the other.Light is very white and brighter than the old fluorescent bulb. Turns on instantly and doesn't make any noise like the old bulb did. Hopefully will keep my kitchen sink lit for years to come. The picture doesn't show the bulb directly but should give an idea of how bright and white the light is.

Many of us have RVs, boats, etc. that have nice 12 volt fluorescent fixtures that are hard to replace with something else and there are no parts like starters and ballasts to fix them. These tube lights fit perfectly and look and provide light the same as the old fluorescents. I had no problems rewiring the old fixtures per the included instructions. These tubes are a great product for a reasonable price that, for me, solved big problems trying to replace non-working fixtures.

I had an under the cabinet CFL tube lighting go out (hard wired fixture) go out on me. Tried changing the bulb, then the starter - nothing. I opened it up and was going to try and replace the ballast but the darn thing was riveted into the fixture. I had 2 choices - either replace the fixture or convert it to LED. I did some research and although I did not find exactly the fixture that matched mine, I figured the steps were easy enough to replicate.Rewiring was not hard - just confusing at first. Definitely shut off the breaker before doing anything. The instructions that came with it was easy enough to follow and this thing worked like a charm. When you buy an LED tube, make sure that you buy the one where you can rotate the ends. Unlike normal CFL tube, only half of the LED tube lights up so you would have to position the lighted part to the right angle so it provides the light downward. Otherwise, it will be at an angle if it does not rotate.Bottom line, this thing is bright easy enough to install and I am very happy with it!

I used to use the "plug and play" (type A) tube. Recently, due to the ballast failure I decided to change the entire wiring for ballast bypass tube (type B). There are two version of type B tube - single-ended or double-ended. I decided to go with double-ended type for better connection to the old holder.I chose this seller because other seller required me to buy 4 which I do not need - I have not done rewiring before and I do not want to buy more than I need. Thanks to the packaged instruction everything works as expected.One bonus of removing the ballast is that the annoying low frequency hum from the ballast is also gone.The only downside is this tube is not as bright as the old type A tube I used.Not sure how long will this last but for now, I'll give 4.5/5 for this product.

After confirming that "plug and play" bulbs (such as the Feit Electric) are not compatible with the ballasts in my vintage Dazor, I bypassed the ballasts and rewired the original switch to route hot to both leads of one end of each bulb and neutral to both leads of the other end of each bulb, popped in these Fulight bulbs, and they illuminate instantly, brightly, and silently! 4k might be a better color than 3k for desk work.

The product itself is great. No more delayed light ups, flickering lights, changing bulbs, starters, or even ballast.The thing I thought I should add. Modifying the fixture for these may be harder than what you may think.All fixtures are different, and some will be harder than others.In my case, they were attached to my medicine carbonate. They were not easy to open up. Once open, they were still hard to deal with and the wiring was different from the directions.I had to experiment what wires to disconnect or not. I even triggered my circuit breaker once....lolIt took me awhile, but I figured it all out.I guess the point I'm trying to make. This not for someone that's never done this kind of thing. It's not hard but can be fiddly if you never done it before.Now that I have done it, I could probably do it in half the time if I had to do it again. The first time is always the hardest.All said and done, I'm happy with my purchase.PS....if you do this, make sure you cut the power.

it was delivered as expected. Works like it should.

I had a single bulb ballast on an older fixture that went out. The ballast was very very expensive and I almost decided to replace the entire fixture. Once I realized I can simply convert to an LED bulb I looked up this product and it worked perfectly. The instructions were very easy to read and the conversion is super simple.The light works fantastic and it is much brighter than the original, and it also does not make the cabinet hot like the old ballast did.
