NYLL 2 ft T8 G13 Type A Plug & Play LED Tube, Daylight (6000K) Direct Replacement for 17W/20W FO17, F17T8, F18T8, F24T8, F20T12 (Without Rewiring or Modification) Ballast Required!

Installed this new LED light tube in range hood over the stove. Wife loves the bright white 6K daylight color for cooking. Light glows bright in all directions; would never guess there are LED light strips inside. The length of this model (approximately 24-inches) was about a quarter of an inch too long, requiring a bit of trimming using wire cutters to reduce about an eighth of an inch from the metal prongs on each end of the tube. After trim, installing into the range hood was plug-and-play. No need to worry about ballast or wiring. This light has two small metal prongs on each end to match fluorescent light fittings. Installed easily as a direct replacement for a Philips F20T12/CW 24-inch fluorescent light, after minor cutting the electrical points to allow the tube to slip into the existing fitting. No special tools necessary other than wire cutters or snips that can trim the length of the prongs.

They came packed in their own cardboard box and each tube was individually wrapped inside the cardboard box, which came in a bigger, well packaged Amazon box. (I ordered two of these LED tubes.) These lights installed the same, exact way the fluorescent tubes did that they replaced. Line up the little pins on the ends of the tube to the little slots in the light fixture push in just a little bit and twist the tubes. You don't have to take out any ballasts or do any electrical work. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey! I had two 20 watt fluorescent tubes in the fixture in my bathroom. I took those out (which I have only had in for less than a year) and put these in. These bulbs use 10 watts each, so instead of 40 watts, I'm now spending 20 watts. The kicker is that these lights are MUCH brighter than the fluorescent bulbs that I removed, and the color of the things they cast light on have colors that are 'more accurate'. These tubes I purchased are the 6000k Daylight bulbs. Another plus is that these lights come on instantly. The fluorescents took about a half-second. I am very pleased with these lights and highly recommend them. I didn't think they were going to make such a huge difference in the brightness and color in the bathroom. I may go ahead replace my fluorescent tubes in the kitchen., too.

Have a 4 bulb lamp in my kitchen, tired of climbing a ladder to replace florescent bulbs, ordered these led replacements, wasn't 100% sure if they would work in my old fixture. Installed them, no modification to lamp, instant on and super bright. No concerns noted. Would recommend this product.

Arrived in timely manner & works great!

I like this bulb. GREAT for a closet where the old fluorescent bulbs are dim and dark by comparison. Good light. However, why does Anything take 2 weeks to deliver in the Amazon era? 2 Weeks? I can get most things in Dallas the same day as of July 2020. Also, $5.99 to ship one bulb. It will likely last a long time, but $24 seems high for the total cost. Hence, 4 stars instead of 5. If you have 2 weeks to wait and $24 a bulb works for you--this is actually a great solution for the painful era of Fluorescent bulbs. They are the worst, most dangerous, most absurd development in lighting. (Yes, the house we just moved into has Fluorescent bulbs in every closet. So painful.) Each one has problems. So, kudos for this LED solution. That is all. Thanks for reading.

When we built our home almost ten years ago, the builder installed fluorescent (cfl) fixtures in all of our closets. Here in western Massachusetts, in our town, you have to pay the refuse transfer station $25.00 per cfl bulb once they burn out. So I’ve been steadily replacing all cfl bulbs with LEDs…and when doing so, it’s important that you don’t have to rewire the fixture to bypass the ballast, to accept the LED bulb This was simply a “plug and play” replacement…no tools, no rewiring…..and the closet is now as bright as ever. And without the danger of breaking a fluorescent bulb…or having to pay “extra” once this one burns out!

Good bright daylight color which was a twist in replacement. No rewiring to eliminate the ballast or starter. Instant on when switched on. Good bright light and easy to install so much that my spouse installed it with no assistance from me once we decided to replace the old dimming flickering tube.

I bought 2 of these to replace the fluorescent lights over our kitchen sink. They are very bright and I like the daylight color in the kitchen. The fixture takes 2 bulbs and I probably could get by with just 1 bulb in it. Replaced the old bulbs with no alterations needed.
