Review on OZ-USA LED Light Motorhome T8 T5 12" 18" RV Travel Trailer Fluorescent Replacement by Glenn Kumar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice bright white light, turns on instantly

I have just replaced 2 fluorescent tubes with 4 LED strips in one of the lights in my RV. I like the light it gives off. Bright and turns on as soon as you flip the switch. Very good. Over time I plan to replace all the lamps in the cabin. (The ballast for fluorescent lamps burns out over time, and they (ballast modules) are almost impossible to find and replace, so you have to buy a brand new lamp, which costs more than $80). So I will try these LED strips. I've read about the heat generated causing the tape to peel off the metal frame of the mount. The metal has a smooth gloss white painted finish and I think that might be a problem so I made the rough surface with sandpaper before gluing the LED strips on top. I hope that works. The only complaint I have is that the red and black wires on the LED strips are very thin and VERY difficult to work with. Do not attempt to strip the wires with pincers or pliers. They are too thin and will break. I've found that using your fingernails is best, just pinch the wire and strip the insulation. However, the wires are so thin that they can still break. Must be done with care. Much luck
