UPDATED 1/22/19After being so disappointed by the initial product delivery and leaving the negative review below on 1/18/19, I felt the need to update my feedback after dealing with JESLED customer service over the past few days.Amazon processed my return request for the 8 tubes the evening of 1/18/19, the next morning I received an email from JESLED (John Chiu) asking if the shipment I received was okay. I proceeded to explain that 7 of the 8 tubes were broken upon arrival and that I felt the packaging was inadequate. I also stated that I was even more upset because I already rewired the three two-bulb fixtures in my garage to utilize the LED tubes and now I was stuck without lights unless I re-installed the ballasts, which I was not going to do. John replied offering to send me a 12 pack of tubes at a 20% discount. I replied stating that I only needed six tubes, and was going to keep the original two extra as spares and that I was not comfortable purchasing these tubes again due to the 87.5% broken product rate of the first shipment. I couldn’t help but think the replacements would arrive broken as well. I also said that if they were willing to provide free replacements that were undamaged and operational that I would be willing to update the below review to reflect the company standing behind their products and willingness to ensure customer satisfaction. I did not expect JESLED to be willing to provide the free tubes, I figured the conversation was over at this point. I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG!! On 1/20/19, John replied and stated that they were highly concerned with their customer’s experience and that the 8 replacement tubes were on their way! I received the replacement tubes on 1/21/19. Upon opening the packaging, I found that all 8 tubes were unbroken and appeared to be perfect working order. I proceeded to install all eight tubes to ensure they all worked and unfortunately, I found that two tubes were not operational. There is nothing obviously wrong with them, but they will not illuminate when energized. I even tried moving them to different fixtures to ensure there wasn’t something else causing the issue, but that didn’t help. I replied to John to let him know what I found with the new tubes. Today (1/22/19), John has stated he will send another 4 pack of tubes to replace the two faulty tubes. With the company being so willing to stand behind their product and provide replacements to ensure their customers are satisfied, I felt compelled to update my review to 5 stars. The tubes that work, work great! They are much, much brighter than the old fluorescent tubes, and the 5000K color is perfect for the garage! Also, these lights turn on instantly, zero delay at all! As a side note, right after requesting the initial return, I purchased Hyperikon tubes to replace these, not expecting to be contacted by JESLED. I can honestly say, in my opinion, these tubes are slightly brighter than the 5000K Hyperikon tubes and definitely turn on quicker. The Hyperikon tubes had a slight delay, maybe a second or less, but noticeable. For the sake of honesty, I will say the Hyperikon tubes “felt” a little more solid, like the materials were a slightly higher quality, but in my opinion, not enough to warrant the difference in price, especially considering the lag in turning on. I will be returning the Hyperikon tubes, in favor of the JESLED tubes. I also attached a picture of these tubes when lit, just for reference, keep in mind this picture was during the day and the garage was not dark due to the windows. I still think there may be room for improvement in quality assurance and packaging, but after the initial disappointment, I have to say the customer service and products are great! For the value, I would recommend giving JESLED a shot, and if something is wrong, don’t hesitate to reach out to their great customer service.Original Review - 1/17/19I ordered two sets of four (8 total) of these lights. Figured the reviews were great (even though there weren't a ton of reviews) and for the price they were worth a shot. I should have known better. The lights arrived in two packages, four in each. I opened the boxes and at first glance everything seemed good. I rewired the first light fixture and was ready to test out the new lights. When I went to remove the protective caps from the ends, I noticed the pins we're pushed into the fixture slightly. Turns out the plastic around the pins was broke. Looked at the rest and 3 of 4 lights were all broken on the same end in that shipment. Must have been dropped or something but the foam in the end of the box is completely inadequate to protect the overly thin plastic. I proceeded to open the second box and guess what... All four of those lights were broke in the same place. To summarize, 7 of 8 lights broke upon delivery. This is just completely unacceptable.. did I mention I already rewired my fixture so I can't just pop the fluorescent tubes back in.. Fortunately I am able to return the broken items for free but with an 87.5% failure rate on the the first attempt, there is no way I could allow myself to have replacements sent. I can't believe the end result would be any different! Hopefully this is an isolated incident. Order at your own risk and good luck!! I ordered some of the Hyperikon bulbs with far more reviews. Hopefully I will have better luck with them!! Pictures if the damage and 'protective' foam are attached.

OK, I am nothing but impressed! I was concerned about some reviews related to damaged 'bulbs" arriving. This seems to be more of a problem for the four-pack, I bought a twelve pack, all bulbs arrived intact and functional. I am buying another 12 pack. There a six stalls to my garage and each has at least one four bulb F40 fixture, most stalls have two fixtures. When one of my garage stalls bulbs or ballasts failed (it just stopped working) I thought to replace the fixture with a new LED fixture...Holy Smokes, those are over $200 apiece! I had considered the LED bulbs that leave the ballast in...Why would you do that when it is the ballasts that fail, often with spectacular smoke. Every ballast I removed to install these LED 'bulbs' was malfunctioning in some manner-black crud leaking out of them, heat damage, or just not igniting the flourescent bulbs anymore (Yes, the bulbs checked OK in other fixtures).The rewire is very simple: wire one end to the power wire and one other neutral using the wire from the removed ballasts. Can't be simpler and actually, it is simpler than the original wiring and the darned ballasts are gone!.. A whole 10 minutes work per fixture.The LED 'bulbs' are a bit brighter than the F40's so most of my four F40 bulb fixtures I have set up for just two LED 'bulbs' and am very satisfied with the output. Usually I use a spotlight or droplight for close up work anyway. If I want more light later I can just finish converting the other half of the fixture.I am sorry that I waited so long to do this, I am looking forward to finishing the rest of the garage, I did this as an experiment to see if the T8 bulb really would fit my T12 bulb type F40 fixtures. It does nicely and I am excited about the results and no more fire risk from old ballasts! Much less expensive to convert your fixture than buy replacement fixtures.
