Good replacement for fluorescent lamps

The lights in my kitchen have burned out. I don't like fluorescent lights so I took a chance they might fit. No changes were necessary to the lighting, I don't do the electrics that perfectly. I installed both, flipped the switch and no light. I read that it might not work with all lights so I was frustrated but decided to try again.

Pros
  • COOL WHITE - Feit LED lamps produce bright light, ideal for work areas and task lighting, with a color temperature of 4100 Kelvin;
Cons
  • weak

Worked as advertised but didn't go well with ceiling lights.

Supplied as stated to replace the standard without ballast bypass. Bright light 4100K.

Pros
  • ENERGY SAVING - 32 watt LED bulb consumes only 20 watts and produces 2000 lumens; Has instant brightness; Does not emit UV light, making it safe to use indoors with artwork and photography; 100% mercury free;
Cons
  • Slightly dented

(Revane, I suggest you include this in your description.) Another thing I wasn't prepared for is that there is an "up" side and a "down" side. (Again, Revain, please include this information as well). Light is only emitted from one…
