Just had to bypass our ballast and this thing is awesome. The daylight makes everything look so much better than the blue or orange hue's.

The lights made a huge difference on our combine and gravity wagon.  Now the guys are able to see, almost a beacon.  The old lights were turning yellow and cloudy.  My husband & son said it is awesome to see clearly.  Thanks

I had an older T12 fixture in my kitchen and it always had a rather dull yellowish cast.  Recently the ballast started dying and I couldn't find T12 bulbs locally.  I started looking into new fixtures, but found out about LED T8's that could work with or without a ballast.  I went with the non-ballast approach.  My procedure was to connect a Tyco 5 way PushGrip connector to my white and black main power lines, cut the red wiring from my old ballast as well as the green.  I used the green to go from the white wiring to one side of the tombstones and red to the other side from the black lead.  If I had planned more ahead getting about 4 feet of white and black 18AWG wiring from the hardware store would have been a more elegant solution, but this is my kitchen and I don't plan on rewiring again. :)

You need to make sure you only wire one side of the fixture.  The bulbs have adjustments to pivot 90 degrees either way and it's easy to do.  The lighting is so much better in my kitchen.  I would love to see the 4000K and 6500K lighting in the future as well.

Hyperikon is also easy to reach and prompt with service.  I only had one tombstone in my package, called them up and in a couple days had all the tombstones I requested.  I more than likely could have reused my old ones, but my electric meter died and I couldn't ensure they were electrically isolated on each side.

The job took me about 15 mins.  I am pretty handy though, I couldn't imagine anyone needing more than 45 mins to do this job.

These lights are GREAT! I installed them in my 25-year-old fluorescent fixtures (with the old magnetic ballast and T12 bulbs) and this showed me that the ballasts were bad (wouldn't work well at all in cold weather). Not being great with electricity, I called a handyman who removed the ballasts from my two fixtures within about 15 minutes and now the lights are working perfectly. From the start I figured I would have to remove the ballasts, but was hoping for the best. The fact that these bulbs are reasonably priced AND work with/without a ballast is just awesome. I guess the last time I checked for this type of LED was in early 2016 and the only options were around $300 per fixture and required the replacement of the entire fixture. So I'm a very happy customer.

I absolutely love this LED aquarium hood light for my fish tank. I bought it for my new 20 gallon tank, but it's broke on it's way here. I literally couldn't wait anymore so I had to put it on my 10 gallon tank. It's so amazing. I love it. It makes the tank look more alive, and the night mode LED is amazing too! It looks so weird on picture, but in person it's the best thing. The little hooks where you can extend your light one of them is a little bit loose, and the other one isn't at all, but that's okay. I still love it. There's no issues to it yet, and I hope there won't be. Best $30 spent for an aquarium light. It sounds expensive, but honestly it's beyond worth it. I'm so happy with it. Thank you so much, Nicrew!

This light strip is a fabulous addition to my Hue lights. I purchased the starter kit from apple a little under a year ago. It's seriously one of the coolest things. I can change the lights to look like whatever I want and that in and of itself is worth the money. I've not had an issue with any of the bulbs and the ease with which the whole thing runs is awesome. I hung this lightstrip above my window and it's like an sweet neon sign that I can make any color I want whenever I want. Be warned it is quite short, a little over 7ft, which may seem like a lot but it only covers the top of my window frame with about a foot on each side. It's exactly what I expected and I love it but I know some people may not read the specifications and get angry about it. It also has double sided tape on the flat end of the strip so you can stick it underneath things etc.
Conclusion: It's 100% worth the money if you have a Hue light system you'd like to add to. Don't buy this if you don't have the "Hub" (Router that is necessary for running any of their lights), which comes in any of their starter kits. It's a fabulous addition to my lights and totally worth the money because I know it will last a long time.

Works great.  I removed the ballast as well.  Quiet, and bright!

I love this light bulb! I purchased the daylight glow and it seriously look like the comparison picture. It's just so much more 'natural' of a lighting look. It's not cold looking like a hospital, but it looks like you have your curtains open! The bulb itself is rather sturdily made. I've had floodlights in the past that were lighter and easily broken. This is a bit heavier though and definitely well made. I've dropped the box with it still in it, and it was fine. I just love the way this light makes the room look and I'd definitely recommend it. I received this product free in exchange for an honest review but my review is based solely on my experience with the product.

Man we have this installed in our garage. It's like having the full sun out while working in there. We absolutely love it and look forward to purchasing more of these. When you turn on there is a small fan that you can't hear, but nothing that would prevent us from purchasing this bulb. It is truly an investment!

I replaced the bulb I had bought that got dimmer and dimmer with this gem and OMG! Having true daylight makes all the difference in a makeup mirror. But I don't get what people are saying about making sure the prongs are on the right side. This is entirely unnecessary. If you have a mirror that uses a 4-pronged circular bulb, the prongs will fit just fine. Go ahead and get this and you won't be sorry.

I replaced two t-12 bulbs and two metal halide bulbs with this light on a heavily planted discus tank (90 gallon) and everything is growing great.  Algae is growing much less, I can put my canopy back on my tank, and the energy saving is amazing.

It was easy to modify the existing fixtures and the amount of light is amazing.  I will be buying more,

This Light Bar is so COOL!!  Had to weld our own mounting brackets but it works like a dream!

Bought these along with some Three Prong Socket adapters to brighten my garage. The lights are super bright. Turn on right away and with the three prong adapter work way better to fill the whole garage with light than any whole ballast system professionally installed could have done. This together cost $25 in total and is amazing.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/JACKYLED-E26-3-in-1-Socket-Adapter-E27-Converts-3-Way-Splitter-for-Standard-LED-Bulbs-360-Degrees-Adjustable-180-Degree-Bending-Max-Watt-300W/dp/B01DVUDB4C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">JACKYLED E26 3 in 1 Socket Adapter E27 Converts 3 Way Splitter for Standard LED Bulbs 360 Degrees Adjustable 180 Degree Bending Max Watt 300W</a>

I just installed the Progress Lighting P3005 6 and we just love it.  It arrived OK, which is good since there is a lot of real stained glass pieces.  I took the old fixture (3 100W halogen lights - once which MELTED!) and just love this one.  The base went up easily and the fixture part even easier - just connected the black, white, and ground wires the way the old one was.  The outer shade took a bit more time.  You need to carefully figure out the orientation of the holder, and then put the glass in the proper place.  There are little metal clips that you bend to hold the glass in place so that when you place it on the main fixture, it doesn't come apart.  We used six instant on CFL bulbs, 23W 1650 lumens (supposed to be the same as a 100@ incandescent).  The frame hooks nicely onto five or six clips around the bulbs - easy on and easy off.  It looks great, upgrades the look of the batheroom (like a mini remodel), and the bulbs only use 138W instead of 300!  It took about an hour (excluding the trip to the store to get the new bulbs).

I didn't initially buy this LED light fixture just because it had a sunrise and sunset feature.  I can say after owning it a month or more I really love it.  I have mine to 1 hour sunrise and 1 hour sunset and the changes in color of the fish, plants and tank are really nice to watch.

Color as expected, great coverage. Bypassing the ballast is a breeze, long term you will be happy you did. Not so long ago, I invested in a bunch of "play and play" bulbs.... little did I know that the weak link, ballast, still had to function in order for light to come on. Here, you can cut it out and not have to worry about it.
