Review on 20-Pack 4FT LED T8 Ballast Bypass Tubes, 18W, 2400Lm, 5000K, Frosted Lens, UL Listed For Single-Ended & Dual-Ended Connection In T8 T10 T12 Tube Lights With G13 Base, 120-277V by Lance Harrison

Revainrating 3 out of 5

12.5% failure rate after a few months, but the remainder work great.

When they work, they work well. I installed 16 tubes a few months ago. Removing the old tube and ballasts took about 10 minutes per fixture. The lights are very quiet now that the existing noisy ballasts have been removed. My only complaint is that within a few days I had one tube that began to flicker, so I replaced it. After a few weeks I had another tube fail completely (won’t light up). Two tubes out of 16 (12.5% failure rate) is a somewhat high for new bulbs.

Pros
  • Worked well I don't know for how long installed in a commerical business
Cons
  • Can be difficult to dispose of and harmful to the environment
