Glowing Results then Nada

Would Not Recommend

I bought a pair of these. Recently installed them in a fluorescent fixture. The worked well for about 10 days. Then just barely glowed. I removed the tubes and put them back in thinking that maybe I had seated one incorrectly. They lit. For about 4 days then dim again. I'm trying to troubleshoot the situation. Is it the tubes? The fixture? I went to GE Support. It wants to show me a video on LED lighting for my home or wants to charge me $5 for a GE tech to diagnose the problem with my refrigera...

Misleading Labeling

Would Not Recommend

Bulb advertised as a daylight bulb, but the packaging then goes on to say it's 6500 K. Daylight in Kelvin should be a range of around 5000-5200.

Avoided the Ballast Replacement!

Would Recommend

I tried a standard set of bulbs first, and thought I was going to have to tackle the ballast change. I was dreading having to change the ballast in my fixture, mostly because of how it was installed and sat against the basement ceiling. I figured I'd give this a shot before going through the work of detaching and reattaching the fixture properly with a new ballast. To my relief, these bulbs fixed the issue without having to open the fixture and do the electrical work. The very first time I...

Nothing But Junk

Would Not Recommend

I got these bulbs, in the spring of this year, and they are SUPPOSED TO HAVE a 5 year limited warranty. This is what happened to mine after 4 months. They broke in the middle and are dangling down.
