T8 8 Feet LED Tube Single Pin, 40W (80W equivelant), FA8 Base, Milky Cover, Cool White 6000k, AC110-277V, ETL Certified, 20-Pack

Update 04/14/2017: Happy to report that Amazon, once again, put customer service first. They required that I email an image of the FEDEX invoice with a sort of tight time limit (3 business days). That was not an issue at all, fortunately, I keep on top of my emails. A few days after complying with their request I received a $30 credit on my credt card. I wish them luck in recouping it from the seller! Hopefully they will change the listing to alert buyers to the additional import and handling fees.Update on 03/23/2017: Got an interesting surprise from Fedex today! An invoice for $30. A flier in the invoice informed me that I owed them for Duty and Tax. The website never said anything about these coming from China nor anything about extra fees applying. It said FREE shipping. I have not contacted Amazon yet but I intend too when I can talk to someone. I will keep everyone posted on how they handle this. I still think these lights are great, no problem so far.I was impressed by the packaging: each light tube in its own plastic bag inserted in a full length capped cardboard tube. All twenty in one box; the packaging was necessary as these come shipped direct from China. Just a few tears in the box but no damage to the contents. The lights go in easily by bypassing the ballast with a couple of wire snips and reconnecting with wire nuts. I felt awful (Stingybuyer) cutting out a perfectly good ballasts becuase 8 of my 9 fixtures were still good but I wanted all 9 of the LEDs to be lighting my woodworking shop. Once installed it take a few minutes to accept the change in warmth of light but I will tell you I prefer the LEDs; I didn't get that blue tint many have, my shop looks as bright as outside. I'm glad I bought the frosted ones. One note of caution, these are not exactly the same length as a fluorescent tube and on some of my fixtures I had to push the spring loaded connector by hand and barely got the pin in. None of the 18 I did installed were defective. There is a visible amount of sag as the tube material is not that rigid glass of fluorescent tubes but I got over that by merely not focusing on it. Its the light you need, not the appearance of its source. Apparently you can buy clips to support the middle but the sag will quickly become overlooked; you make your own decision. The first installation took maybe 10 minutes because I was being cautious with the wiring. The next 8 installations took no more than 5 minutes each. I am very happy with the results. I am saving myself the replacement cost of an 8ft fluorescent fixture every 6-8 months or so. That's $45 a pop (easier to just replace the fixture, the ballast is nearly as expensive as the light itself), so I should recoup my investment in 3-4 years, less if I consider the cost of electricity. Realizing these came from China with free shipping, I am hopeful that the $15 per tube price vs. the $50-60 price elsewhere on Amazon is not an omen for failing LED tubes. I've only had them for a few weeks so it is too early to tell.

These lamps are a great value. They took longer to arrive than I had expected as they were shipped from China and UPS missed a pick up...whatever. Once they arrived I replaced all the tube fluorescents in my barn with these. Bypassed the ballasts and wired them directly. Not a hard job and I have done it before when I did the lamps in the house last year, just a little tedious working on the ladder for a while. One of the lamps was banged up and bent but not so badly that I could not use it. It works fine, it is just obvious that it is bent if you look at it. As others have said there is some sag but that is resolved with a tie wrap in the middle around the fixture and the lamps. They look great and are very bright. I don't have any complaints and I was so tired of changing the flourescents. That should be the end of it now. A big A+++ to Luminosum!Update July 8th 2017 Ok, so a couple weeks ago I had half of one lamp stop working. I emailed Luminosum and after a couple back and forth emails they sent me 3 lamps at no charge. I replaced the one faulty lamp and put the other 2 lamps in storage in the barn rafters. Awesome customer service, thank you very much. It had to cost some money including FedEx shipping from China but they did not complain. I can't thank you enough.

the bulbs should be more rigid. They sag in the middle. They work as expected, but a little disappointed.Packaging should be better also, 4 or 5 out of 20 in the box were damaged

I don't normally write up reviews, but I really have too for these lights. Reason probably for this is because the previous company I was buying from did a bad job, and these guys just impressed me.Anyway, I think the packaging was outstanding, you guys used some good cushioning for these bad boys so they would come to me intact without bumps or scraps, the previous people didn't do it. Also, they feel heavier, which gives makes me think they are sturdier, which is good, I like that, they do not appear to droop in the middle like the previous lights did, so I guess that is where this sturdiness comes from :). They feel like a brighter LED (frosted), and that is good too. Two bad things I did find was in the middle of one of the lights, it was just a minor scrap, which because the lights backside would be up, it's impossible to tell. I'm a little on perfection side, but that is okay, can't see it, out of mind, out of sight. Another problem was, one of the lights, half side led works and other side is dark, contacted them to see if I can do anything on my end, things happen, at least it wasn't the previous company that screwed me over lol.So pros are:1. Packaging was well done. I love the plastic sleeves inside that kept them safe and sound.2. Lights feel durable, do not droop in the middle.3. Company feels like they care about their product, thus the pros above.Cons:1. Little scrap on 1 of the 20 bulbs/tubes I ordered.2. 1 bulb/tube, half of it works.But I am not taking off stars for those 2 cons because they are so minor.All in all, will buy again. Thanks!

These bulbs are fantastic. Daylight bright and simple to install. I would give it a 5 star, but so far I have 2 bent bulbs out of 3 cases, still one case to open. We'll see how company handles the issue? They still function, but look warped. Add BTW, these are manufactured with a strong aluminum support that eliminates the need for those support clips, which i bought anyway, but didn't need. I'm very please with the product so far.UPDATE AFTER 12 MONTHS:Out of approximately 70 bulbs installed Oct 2017.... I have about 10 bulbs with a number of LED's out or exactly half the bulb out. Please see pics attached.
