If i have the crappy old floresent long light bulbs with the plastic light cover, could this be an alternative or am i going to have to rewire?

Very simple. To take down fluorescent you would have to disconnect wiring. To put this up you would have to connect the wiring. To think of far fetched problems---maybe the hole in surface of let's say the ceiling was cut longer rectangular, as is the shape of fluorescent fixture and the replacement is a shorter square shape as is the replacement, the hole would show and that would need repairing. Other than that if electricity and attach box is there for fluorescent, the smaller fixture is definitely not a problem.

Hi, I don't think you will need to rewire for this light. I purchased this to replace a chandelier that was probably installed when they built the house. It's over 30 years old. However I am not a licensed electrician, but it didn't appear to be too difficult to put up. My husband installed it in abt 1hr. He said it was pretty basic. Hope this helps.

Hi I don't really know the answer to your question. I plugged my existing connection for the lights and it worked. No new wires or changes.

Yes. We ended up taking the bulb out and installing it in our old housing because the connector piece on our new one was slightly different - not sure why. It wasn't a problem, just don't touch the bulb. Works great!

Perhaps. The trick is to supply 12v DC to the lights. I think the transformer is in the little box with the blades that fit into the plug, so you would have splice in before the transformer. When I replaced my fluorescent under-counter lights, my solution was to pull the old lights, install a plug at the end of those hard wires, and then plug into that. A bit of extra work, but not bad.

You must remove old one and slide new one over socket, you may have to trim sockets down to size hence why they are so inexpensiveDane HarmonDCH Electric & Lighting

I only replaced the glass part of the fixture, so I didn't have to rewire the whole fixture. I'm afraid my answer isn't going to help you any. But, FYI, I do like the glass part.

If you find out let me know, mine is junk too. Just plug it in and use it that way till bulbs burn out?

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

If the fixture has a regular bulb 'screw in' feature. It should work I have saved on my electric bills by retrofitting all to led cans

Its pretty easy! Took all of 30 minutes at the most and that because I flushed and lubed the conduit that the wire runs through. make sure you tie off the old light to the new light or use a fish tape to pull the wire and you will have no problems. Good Luck!

These lights take standard 115V AC power, which should be the same as your fluorescent lights, so yes, you should be able to use the existing wiring. I replaced a wall-mounted fluorescent light in a closet with one of these and it was an easy installation.

Yes, unless you have extremely old wiring -- black - white- and bare copper wires is all you need. These fixtures do not take nearly as much electricity as the old fixtures, so you are very safe using them.

Yes: follow the instructions included with the product. Just turn off the power & remove old light. This unit comes with a small plastic junction box. Wire that in the same way your old light was wired. Install the new light and use the connecting cord to plug the LED light into the junction box. Very simple.

Yes. The CFL bulb will fit. That is the type I use and it works quite well.

after looking at mine a little closer it's as if its 5 little LED lights off together encased in plastic. I do not see a way to replace it no I have ever seen a product like that in the light bulb department. I will say that I've had mine since 2010 and I've never had a problem with it as long as the batteries are fresh. Hope that helps

According to one of my contractors the LED light fixtures he has encountered require a low voltage electrical. He does not believ that a LED bulb will work in this traditional fixture.

I bought to replace my lights on my rv. You would have to drill holes and run wires to lights.
