Without power supply

This product does not contain a power supply. Nowhere in the description on the web is this mentioned. Additionally, the instructions do not specify any voltage or polarity requirements for the power supply. VERY ANNOYING.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Upgrades

The problem isn't with the product, it's with it.

The problem is not with the product but with "stock transactions". Whoever did the inspection and found this product to be working should be fired as the WHO glass tube was completely broken and unusable.

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • not reliable

Additional hardware required to convert LEDs

This product appears to be of good quality but I ended up returning it as I was looking to upgrade my fluorescent hoods to LEDs and thought that was all I needed. This job requires an additional power source. Do your homework before you buy!

Pros
  • Got it!
Cons
  • Security

It didn't go as planned.

Just in case, it's NEVER as bright as the 24" fluorescent lamp it replaces. In the best case, it will be twice as bright. I have to use it as I need something that is easy to turn on and add a regular wall timer for everyday use that didn't cost an arm and a leg with custom timers built in. It fitted as a replacement for my T8 bulb, so at least it worked. Not happy but I have no choice, I just want others to know. The pictures show it replacing a T8 bulb if that is what you want. Comes with…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Almost never
