What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these LED tube lights for bright, instant illumination and the ability to eliminate outdated fluorescent ballasts through straightforward direct-wire installation. Most appreciate the three-position color temperature switch offering customization between 4000K, 5000K, and 6000K settings. Reviewers highlight significant energy savings, with some calculating nearly ninety dollars in annual electricity reductions. The majority value the cost-effectiveness and long-term reliability compared to replacing faulty ballasts. A small number report receiving broken bulbs or note the absence of warm white options, but overall customers strongly recommend these as a worthwhile upgrade.

Making the old new again

Would Recommend

I purchased these bulbs to convert a couple of older 4-foot florescent lamps where both the bulbs and ballasts were failing. Removal of the old fixtures would have required a somewhat expensive remodeling, so it was easier and cheaper to convert those fixtures over to use these Type B replacements. The instructions on the box were clear on how to rewire the sockets and eliminate the old magentic ballasts. The lamps are now "instant on", with bright light, and no annoying hum.

Switch went kaput

Would Recommend

It seemed that the light selector broke after switching it a few times, so I left it alone!

What is missing

Would Not Recommend

Instructions stated the importance of attaching a warning label to the light fixture to indicate that only type B ballast-less tubes are to be installed after converting the wiring. However, no such label was in the box. Lowe’s customer service was of absolutely NO HELP. I had to find a phone number for GE customer service, who committed to mailing the needed label. I suspect that the two tube box shipped to me by Lowe’s had been opened and the label removed prior to delivery to me.
