JESLED T8 T10 T12 8FT LED Light Bulbs, Single Pin Fa8 Base, 8 Foot LED Fluorescent Tube Replacement, 50W 6000LM, 5000K Super Bright, V Shape, ETL Listed, Ballast Bypass, Garage Shop Lights (4-Pack)

These are terrific. Easy to install, just remove the ballast and toss it, wire the 115 volt line wire (Black) to the tombstones on one end of your fixture and the neutral (white) wire to the tombstone on the opposite end. The whole process takes about 15 minutes per ballast once you get a bit of practice. Each bulb is brighter than the florescent bulbs. They are amazingly resilient. The bulbs I replaced are at the ceiling of my aircraft hangar, thus located about 25 feet above the concrete floor. While installing them one of the bulbs fell off of the Genie Lift and landed hard on the concrete floor, then bounced a couple of feet. When I retrieved it there was no visible damage, not a crack nor a bend. So I took it right back up to the ceiling and installed it. Perfect light, it lit up without a hitch and has worked ever since. The bulbs are light weight with what appears to be a full length aluminum housing the entire length. The two strips of LED ribbon are attached and covered with a plastic cover. The quality appears to be exceptional, and the packaging they came in was phenomenal. I am not easily impressed. I have been a contractor for 40 years, and I work on Aircraft all the time. My trades demand quality...and I am impressed. My shop/hangar is in Alaska. Temps have been near -20 F recently and the bulbs light instantly in an unheated building. No warm up, no flicker, no noise. The difference is phenomenal! Yeah-sure, at first blush they are a bit more expensive than standard florescent bulbs, but that is a short sighted evaluation. We had a number of fixtures that had two burned out bulbs and a dead ballast. The replacement ballast alone cost nearly $35 each, plus about $10 for each florescent bulb. To get the fixture back into operation was going to cost us more than $55 and the bulbs are short lived in our Alaska winter weather. Considering that the LED light is brighter, uses a fraction of the electricity, lights instantly on these cold winter days and have a 3 year guarantee, it is a no brainer. The bulbs come with something like an instruction sheet but you might want to hire an electrician if you cant use You-tube, or know absolutely nothing about electricity. I used my husband and his tools. They are both a bit old and don't move so well, but I found that method very convenient.) You will save yourself time if you purchase a roll of solid core, 16 gauge wire to easily rewire the fixture once the ballast has been removed. You will need a few wire nuts...orange, yellow, red, and grey. Walking into the shop now is a bit like walking into an operating room, except the shop floor is not as clean and occasionally you find grease on the tools instead of blood.....okay, occasionally my husband leaves a little blood on his tools as well. I love the new LED lights, would never go back.

I had a number of old florescent T12 fixtures with the FA8 single pin bulbs that were beginning to fail. I needed a solution to replace the old bulbs with something that would be a place and forget solution. These LED bulbs from JESLED provided this solution. They are brighter than the old florescent tubes and the daylight color make the work area pop with clarity. I like the V-shape dual LED as it cast the light better than straight down. Installation was a breeze once I decided to replace the tombstones with new ones made by JESLED. I attempted to use the old tombstones but the new LED bulbs would not make proper electrical contact as the JESLED LED bulb pins were about 1/16" shorter and narrower than the original florescent T12 bulbs. After removing the ballast I opted to replace the wiring as it was nearly 60 years old. Using the new tombstones with new wiring allowed me to eliminate all the wire nuts making for a clean install. Using the JESLED tombstones is a must and made it real easy to upgrade the old florescent fixtures to LED bulbs. I noticed that the new JESLED LED bulbs sag in the middle. I was concerned about the stress this might put on the bulb and the LED's so I ordered the JESLED T8 U Clips Holder Bracket and will install one or two clips per bulb to provide additional support when they come in. It took me less than thirty minutes per fixture to gut the old ballast, old wiring, decrepit tombstones, then clean 60 years of dust and grime from the old fixture, install the new wiring, and install the new tombstones. The end results make the effort worthwhile.

I replaced the old fluorescent T12 8 ft tubes in my garage. I have 10 light fixtures each with two bulbs. The old fluorescent light fixtures provided good light but sounded like a welder transformer. The old 60 hz hum of the light ballast was quite noisy. The fluorescent bulbs took time to warm up before getting bright. The new LED lights seem as if they are twice as bright as the fluorescent when turning on. No need to warm up. No more annoying hum. I picked this fluorescent light because it was a good balance of brightness and price. I like that it had a 270° angle on the LEDs. These lights say they are 50 Watts. There are other lights on Amazon that say 75 watts but have the same number of LED chips and look identical. Maybe the only difference is the price. As far as the LED bulb construction it is a thin tube much smaller than the T12. The backside of the LED bulb is made of aluminum with a thin plastic cover on the front. I ordered two 12 packs of this bulb. Of the 24 bulbs I received one bulb had problems. I contacted the company and received a quick response. The company refunded the cost of the bulb promptly. The ballast bypass was simple. It took approximately 10 minutes per fixture. One reason I chose JESLED was the 3-year warranty and that the company seems more established than other companies on Amazon. When choosing the right LED bulb replacement there are so many choices it can be difficult. I can tell you so far I'm very happy with my choice of this bulb replacement. I can't speak to the reliability overtime of these bulbs yet but I can tell you the replacement wiring was simple the light is bright and the bulbs are quiet.

So far i'm impressed, its been 30 days, but time will tell. All lit up and are working fine., no dead spots. The 5K is plenty bright, but i have white walls ceiling. i would not go for the 6K unless you have dark walls/ceiling. my only error was i should have gotten frosted lenses, but its OK. i'm using the 8ft single pin models, they are very light weight. the good thing about single pin is you can turn them anyway you want. I'm so glad to get rid of my ballast and bulbs that only last 3 years.

I love how these LED tube lights have 2 rows of LEDs instead of 1 row to better disperse light. I installed these in 2 commercial kitchen fixtures and it was an immediate improvement! More light with less wattage compared to fluorescent lights, gotta love it. Plus the fact that fluorescent lights are banned in certain states and most likely will be banned nationwide so it's the wave of the future. These lights are "bypass" type so you need to bypass/remove the existing fluorescent ballast and do some basic rewiring inside the fixture. There are MANY tutorial videos out there so don't shy away just because you aren't an electrician. You just need some wire strippers and some other small parts to complete the job. UPDATE: I installed 4 of these light tubes and so far 2 of them have already failed! 50% FAILURE RATE AFTER LESS THAN 6 MONTHS WON'T GET IT!

Perfect fit, easy to install

Easy to install, nice and bright. I had an issue with one of the contacts on one bulb so I had to switch it out with another.

Love these lights. I’ve had them in my shop for years and no burn outs. Also can rotate to direct ligh
