I have a Lite Source LSM-180 magnifier lamp where I removed the ballast and replaced the fluorescent bulb with an LED T9 8" circular bulb a couple of years ago. Why? The heat of the bulb near the plug kept ruining the lenses and turning them yellow. Also, the LED bulbs are closer to daylight, brighter than fluorescent and last longer... in theory. However, after a couple of years, the electronics in my old bulb, (not from JSLED) went bad and it was flashing. I thought I'd try a JSLED bulb and I love it. Not only did it just work right out of the package, as I already removed the ballast from the lamp, but it looks brighter and closer to daylight than my old one. Now comes the real test as what I've seen with LED replacements is that it's the electronics that always fail before the LEDs themselves. I have my fingers crossed.

We should have done this sooner. We have two T9 fluorescent fixtures in the kitchen, and Ive changed the ballasts three times in the last two years (its a pain). The one in the fan was changed twice since last year. After the installation, no more worries. The fixtures are cooler and hopefully.I will not need to replace light bulb for about five to six years. Great product and very easy to bypass ballasts (disconnect and removed). The wiring was easy too, white to white and black to gray.The green is for grounding.Thank you JESLED

Very easy to install & great bright light

i see to many thing that to be clean. ill be busy

Replaced a failed fluorescent circuline with this. The fit was OK the function was great. The ballast bypass design is a little more difficult to install but is well worth it in efficiency in my opinion.
