Review on Lunera 932-00026 Helen Lamp: High-Efficiency 2' Linear T8 Bi-Pin LED πŸ”† Lamp, 14W, Ballast Driven – Replaces 20W Fluorescent Tube – 5000 K by Peter Schwartz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent replacement for fluorescent - no rewiring

I was surprised that the standard socket is T12 and not T8 so they turned out smaller than I expected - not the manufacturer's fault but my ignorance. They work in a standard fluorescent tube without rewiring, just unplug and insert the old fluorescent tube. It's a cooler hue (more blue-white) than the fluorescent and brighter than the old fluorescent - FL lamps start out brighter. but fade quickly. LEDs generally do not dim. I liked them so much that I bought them to replace all my fluorescent lights of that size.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
