H&B Luxuries 4FT LED T8 Ballast Bypass Type B Light Tube, 18W, Single-Ended & Dual-Ended Connection, 2340LM, G13 Base,T8 T10 T12 Fluorescent Bulbs Replacement, UL & DLC - 4000K (5Pcs)

I installed these LED T8 tubes in my garage, and I’m thrilled with the results! They’re super easy to wire with the ballast bypass method, and I love how energy-efficient they are—using just 18W instead of 40W. The light is bright and clear, and I’ve noticed a decrease in my electricity bill. The shatterproof design is a huge bonus, especially in my workshop. The 5-year warranty gives me peace of mind. Overall, great quality and great value!

I got these when one of the fluorescent ballasts went bad in my wash room. Replacing the t8 tubes was cheaper than replacing the ballasts and saves on energy. In fact, this impressed me so much that I replaced the t8 tubes and ballasts in my kitchen and closets too. Less heat, less energy and more light, also they are instant on. No more flickering in cold temperatures or when the line voltage goes low.

Impressed with how quickly they come on (I have two light fixtures with two bulbs each, total four bulbs). I also like the light quality of the 4000 K bulbs I purchased. Nice and bright without making everything in the garage took too clinical.

Had to return the original shipment due to damage. The ship time was also longer than advertised on both the original order and the replacement. So far the lights work as otherwise intended. The main aggravation was getting them delivered in useable condition

Took about 10 minutes to install, and if I did it again it would go even quicker. Watched a video and here are the steps I took:1. Cut power to light and remove light cover and old bulbs.2. Remove ballast cover (the "cover" that is hiding all the wires).3. Cut all wires leading to ballast, remove ballast, strip all remaining wires.4. Group all wires on one side together with either one of the wires that are coming from the house (mine were white/black wires).5. Repeat on other side.6. Ensure your ground wire is still grounded (in my case this is a bare copper wire connected to a green screw; this was already done so I didn't need to do anything).7. New bulbs in.This is a simplified explanation; recommend you find some videos that explain the process.Now the light comes on when I flip the switch, which is awesome. :)

This light almost burned my kitchen.. bad quality light…would highly recommend not to buy..:

One bulb was defective on arrival. I contacted the seller through Amazon, got a prompt reply and the quickly reshipped the product. Very bright lights and the very best customer service.Update. Above review is for my first order. My second order arrived and all bulbs are good. Haven't received replacement for the defective unit from my first order but they did provide a tracking number for the shipment.

I have upgraded 3 fixtures in my basement so far (remove old ballast, rewire per label on LED lamp). The light is good (perhaps brighter than expected).
