Runs EXTREMELY hot aka Ballast Killer
Reviewed in the United States on 21 June 2019
Bought these for my airstream to replace the bulbs in the ThinLite 112’s that are all over the place. Install was easy. However within two hours the two fixtures I left on quit working all together. Ballasts and “bulbs” were too hot to the touch. See the picture of the burned out IC. Now I have to buy two new ThinLite fixtures, not happy. Seller will blame the ballasts as being on its way out, somehow I find it hard to believe that ALL TEN FIXTURES have a failing ballast. So they’re just shifting the blame off them onto the original manufacturer. Stay away from this product, find one that requires you to wire your ballast out of circuit.

Excellent product! Cost less per unit than the fluorescent they replace if bought at Home Depot.

Home Depot : Philips 8-Watt 12 in. Linear T5 Fluorescent Light Bulb, Cool White (4100K)
Model# 391144. $8.47
These look great in my kitchen, the color temp of 4000K looks accurate, as advertised, which is a cooler temp than many 3000K ceiling lights, etc. But the standard temp for most 12 inch fluorescent lights you would find. I used 7 of the 8-pack for my under-cabinet kitchen lights (i tested all 8), and they all work perfectly. No flicker, nice quality of light and 1/2 the power use of a fluorescent. This is truly a no-brained: They cost less than the fluorescent, use 1/2 the power, put out 1/2 as much heat, if even that. And they work. Nice product and build quality. They have a reflective side the covers half the cylinder length that you can either choose to insert light so that the reflector bounces light to counter or up into fixture. I installed mine reflector side down actually (to bounce the light up into fixture) to soften the light even more. Either way looks great, but this just appeared to reduce light output 10-20%, more to my taste.

These are direct replacements to all of my closet fixtures. They are not at all hot. Much, much brighter than the fluorescent bulbs that always seemed to take a bit to "warm up" to full brightness. Turn on switch and instant brightness. Since these are closet lights, I want the brightest white color spectrum. These are a perfect shade. Not yellow or blueish.Reviewed in the United States on 3 December 2020
My only complaint is the package quantity. 3 or 8 bulbs. Why not even numbers or at a minimum a 5 pack like their other lengths they sell? I needed 12 in total. There's no cost effective way to get to 12. I bought 8 and I need 4 more. I'll wait until they sell in different quantities as the locations I'm missing are seldom used.
