TSEXES 4FT LED Shop Light,T8 LED Tube Light 36W 4680 Lumens,5000K Daylight,T8 T10 T12 Fluorescent Replacement Bulbs,Clear Cover, Bi-Pin G13 Base,Dual-End Powered, Ballast Bypass (12-Pack)

This review is for the 4' 32W 5000K bulb with a single strip of LEDs and a clear cover. They work. Bypassing (removing) the old fluorescent ballast is straight forward. I strongly prefer the dual-end wiring (like these) where one end of the fixture is line-hot, and the other end is line-neutral. It also happens to be the easiest way to rewire the fixtures I have. These are the only 32W lamps I've run across, and they are delightfully bright. Much brighter than the common 18-22W LEDs or the 32W fluorescents they are replacing. They are a little flimsier, both the plastic shell and the aluminum back, than other LEDs I've used, and they weigh about 20% less. I don't see this as a problem though as they're only getting installed once, not being roughly handled many times. I'm pretty sure my UPS driver could cheerfully fold a package of one or two of these in half, but the tightly boxed 12-pack was plenty sturdy enough to withstand him. They only come with a clear lens, if they came frosted I'd recommend that. Even with a pebble/prism diffuser they're bright enough to have a little glare. I wouldn't want them in an uncovered shop light. I'd really like it if they came in a 4000K frosted model, but I'll happily go with 5000k clear to get the extra light offered. Great LED lamps for retrofitting old fluorescent fixtures!

First, my order did come with instructions! Too bad I did not find them before I started :-) it would have saved me a lot of time. It’s really simple, choose a side of the light fixture and wire it for load (black wire) then the opposite side will be wired to be neutral (white wire). Now for some details. Yes each light has two post on each end. But the two posts are connected inside the light so you Do Not Need to wire both side of a tombstone support. Those are the plastic supports which hold the light bulb in place. If you have a two light bulb fixture like I did, I just ran the black load wire to one tombstone, then ran a black jumper wire to the other tombstone next to the first. Did the same on the neutral side. Now install the bulbs and you are done. Did I mention you need to cut out the ballast first? Well, that is why you purchased these right? Just cut the wires close to the ballast and you can use some of those wires if you want but I removed 80% of the wiring because it was no longer needed.

I've had my ballasts changed over to LED compat6by an electrician over 4 years ago. They have worked fine. Even with switching then out to renew order ones. But when I had these out it, they completely didn't work at all. I've heard of duds now and then, but for an entire box? Seems odd. I had couple extra LEDs of my previous style still available, I popped those in and they worked fine. Unfortunately these new LEDs did not! Not to mention they messed with all the electronics and cameras in my business. These lights are in a business sign, not even close to my electrical gear. Yet here we are, having. To hire a professional to now fox everything that these lights did. Not only did we end up dark on our busiest of days for sales, but we ended up without many other important items to run this business. I'm not one to leave many reviews, but just be weary of the way these lights are made. My electrician took one apart to see the wiring inside of them. And he said it was janky. So not sure what else I can say ....other than we lost a ton of money and our store front looked pitch black and we were very dissatisfied. Could be a bad batch, but it's very odd.

Brightness and easy to install

Very bright. I just bought so idk how they will last. They been up for 1 month and no issues, yet. They are much brighter than the old florescent ones they replaced. Worth the price

I could conduct surgery in there now and on a 30F below zero day, still come right on.

We purchased 2 boxes total of 24 and out of them we had problems with 2 not working correctly, reached out to the seller to see if they could guide us in trying to maybe fix them but their response was basically telling us nothing could be wrong with them, one had a few diodes out and the other would blink, even after we moved it to a known working section. They wanted us to send them a video, what we should of done was just sent them all back! We have high ceilings and had to rent a scissor lift to install them and it wasn't cheap or easy to rent and had already returned it. For those that say it doesn't interfere with a radio it DOES, when I pulled my 2016 F250 in, the radio started to have static and when we turn the shop radio on which is alot older it also has had bad static.

My garage / workshop utilizes 3 ceiling mounted light fixturess of 4 fluorescent tubes each. The ballast failed on one of the fixtures, so I decided to retrofit it to LED with these tubes. Having easily retrofitted one fixture it looked SO bright in comparison to the two conventional fixtures that I decided I might as well retrofit those two as well - took about 30 minutes for each fixture. Now my garage / workshop is super well brightly illumintaed. I am really very pleased with the ease of retrofit and the resulting clear bright environment from these tubes. Highly recommended.
