## Overview

The AP Products Starlights T8-18 is an 18-inch LED replacement tube that delivers 810 lumens of bright light while consuming only 10.26 watts. With a voltage range of 9-25 volts, this eco-friendly solution is 200% more energy efficient than traditional fluorescent tubes, making it the perfect upgrade for your interior lighting needs.

## Description

The interior LED replacement bulb for a 18-inch fluorescent fixture will last 12 times longer than the standard fluorescent tube. The state of the art Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) guarantees the same light output regardless of voltage fluctuations (11-16 volts). The replacement bulb is 200% more energy efficient than fluorescent counterpart (draws 623 milliamps), and gives off a brighter 810LMS output, as well as a better light quality at 4500 kelvin. Patented smart ratchet design allows you to direct the light to the most optimal locations. This allows the bulb to operate cooler and produces no noisy humming sound. Its easy 2 wire installation makes no need to cut out or damage the ballast of your current fixture. The built in Fresnel lens spreads the light evenly, up to a 160 degree angle. No mercury, Led, or any other harmful chemicals in the product. This product is FCC approved and will not interfere with radio/analog signals.

Review: Starlights T8-18 LED light works! - These Starlights T8 18" lights are expensive but I got one and it works well this first month of use. With the light output you really only need one per fixture when replacing the fluorescent bulbs. The light color is pretty cool as in that bluish white. It is a little nicer than my remaining fluorescentsts though. Like many, I was having problems with a light. I have no idea if it was the bulbs or the ballast and I didn't want to chance replacing the bulbs with fluorescents. I cut the power wires in my fixture and drilled a hole in the plastic so that the wires could be run into the bulb compartment. I bought this LED light as an desertcart Warehouse return so I got it for 30 bucks. The pigtail with connector was missing so I just cut the connector off the light's cord. I then used wire nuts to connect - nice and easy. Thankfully the LED light is not polarity sensitive because the instructions didn't seem to match what I had in front of me. Any, the instructions are not necessary since there is no incorrect polarity. By the way, try the 3M wire nuts. You can go from two 22ga wires up to three 12ga wires with the same nut!
Review: Careful: DIRECT CURRENT ONLY! - This looks like an excellent product, and exactly what I need, except that it requires DC, which wasn't mentioned in the item description. I need an LED tube for my vintage desk lamp, and that's AC. I took the lamp to an electrician to rewire it as per the included instructions, and he wouldn't touch it. If you need this tube for a fixture that plugs into an outlet, you may need to get adventurous. I tried, but it was beyond my ability to get it done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product
*by C***N on February 4, 2013*

I bought two of these LED tubes to retrofit one of the existing florescent ceiling lights in my camper. I followed the instructions and was able to install the bulbs in about 20 minutes. They are noticeably brighter than the florescent bulbs were and I may add a second switch so I can select between one and two bulbs. I highly recommend this product and it was well worth the money (about $35). I've already ordered another set for my other fixture.
