Review on πŸ”Œ LWL7W40 F13T5 Cabinet Retrofit for Direct Replacement by Javon Kulik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement for unballasted fluorescent (maybe)

I have replaced 4 bulbs in Quorum lights 85221 - 1-6 that I have in the pantry and cupboards I wasn't a fan of 13w T5 fluorescent bulbs and wanted an LED option After searching Revain, eBay and Google you've come across every replacement, I found fiddling around with ballasts or doing extra work to make sure everything was working properly. These bulbs don't require anything extra. I just took out the fluorescent tube and plugged this in. Remember to do your own research, especially if you have one have older equipment that may require additional work, it is very similar to the fluorescent options in terms of actual performance similar; at 7W, it's more efficient than the traditional 13W, but both are low enough to save power; At 900 lumens, this is quite comparable to the 800+ lumens offered by fluorescent lighting. Overall, this seemed like the only option I found that didn't require additional work in my case. It's a little bit more efficient, a little bit brighter, but most of all it's a safer and longer-lasting LED option. I bought a 2PK (now discontinued) in October 2017 and this 3PK in March 2018 and have had no problems so far.

Pros
  • Direct replacement for 21" T5 13w bulbs from T5 under cabinet lights for over 50% light and energy savings
Cons
  • Not bad but...
