Review on πŸ”† Starlights T8-18 LED Replacement Tube with Harness Ballast Bypass - 18-Inch Fluorescent to LED Conversion by Charity Holloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Starlight's T8-18 LED lamp works!

These 18" Starlights T8 bulbs are expensive but I bought one and it worked well for the first month of use. With this kind of light output, you really only need one light fixture per light fixture when replacing fluorescent tubes. The color of the light is quite cold, like that bluish white. Although it's slightly better than my other fluorescent lights. Like many I had problems with light. I have no idea if it was bulbs or ballast and I didn't want to accidentally swap out the bulbs for fluorescent ones. I cut the power wires in my light fixture and drilled a hole in the plastic so the wires could go into the bulb compartment. as a return from the Revain warehouse. So I got it for $30. The guy with the connector was missing, so I just cut the connector off the light cord. I then used wire nuts to connect - nice and easy. It was nothing like what was before me. No instructions are needed as there is no wrong polarity. By the way, try 3M Nuts. You can go from two 22ga wires to three 12ga wires with the same nut!

Pros
  • 810 lumens and 4500 Kelvin
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other models
