Best LED U-bend bulbs on the market today that require ballast removal.
Light bulbs are very good! Seller shipped them very quickly and I received them in about 2 days. Rewiring my fixtures was very easy, but I recommend a professional to rewire them if you are not comfortable with electricity. I tested all of the bulbs and none were DOA.The only issues is that the support bracket is up a bit high, which seems common with this style LED light. This was easily remedied by unscrewing the bracket and re-positioning it onto the plastic connectors. and screw into them. The other issue is that at least for my fixtures, which were T12, is that the clips that hold the bulbs just barely did not work with these bulbs, but was also easily remedied by a push in zip tie (regular or screw type could work too) see my photos showing the specific type of zip tie and how I mounted the bulbs with it.The light output is much more than my 32W, although I cannot verify since I don't have a light meter; very bright, can't look directly at them for more than 1 second. The color is pretty close to 6500K/daylight, which tends to have a more "blue" hue; I think its more natural. It looks like I have a skylight in my basement now. I bought these over the competitors because of the extra LEDs on the "bend" of the U that others don't have (which in reality probably don't make a huge difference, other than aesthetics and minor light output and spread).Overall I am very happy with the results, beats upgrading T12 fixtures to T8 cost wise, energy wise, and quality of light is much better than standard glass tubes. See my photos comparing these 6500k LED bulbs to standard 4100K T12 fluorescent tubes for light colors.If you are needing to replace any ballast for a U-bend fixture, buy these bulbs instead. You'll be glad you did. It took me about an hour to install 4 fixtures worth of lights (after I figured out how my fixture is wired). Wiring for these is very easy: One side is HOT (120vAC), the other side is NEUTRAL, no ground connection. The picture of the instructions on the listing is fairly clear.

Replaced all the existing fluorescent lights in the shop that would not run in the cold.
