Camco Camper/RV Fluorescent Light Bulb | Features a 15 Watt LF15T8/CW Style Replacement Light Bulb | 18-Inches, 2-Pack (54878)

I bought these to replace 2 bulbs in old random lamps and they worked great. It is nice to know that all these 15 watt tube lights are pretty interchangeable. It would be nice to go with LED lamps instead but for this cheap, its better to just change the bulbs. I still don't understand how a 2 pack of these costs half of a single bulb from most other vendors. I wanted 4000K color, but for 1/4th the price per bulb I figured I could adapt. The lights themselves are very bright... significantly moreso than what they replaced.I am very happy with how things turned out.

when I first bought these I installed them and they didn't work. You could shake them and hear stuff rattling inside so I figured they were just broke or defective. A month later my wife tried to see if they worked and she was able to get the to work. Amazing. I twisted and pushed and pulled on them and they never worked but they do. I see a lot of people saying they bought these and they didn't work but you might want to let your wife try. Just saying.

My mom's bathroom light had gone dark and as she is in her 90's a light bulb was urgently needed. Local stores couldn't ship to us for a week or more. Came here, found out that when they changed the light bulbs and how purchased them, they did away with the one she needed. But after researching we found out that this one replaced the one she needed. We ordered it, praying that it was going to work. It came in a matter of days and thankfully, it was correct for the light in her bathroom. Very happy with it and will buy again if needed.

Works

I only used one of the 2 pack so far, it is still burning. I would hope so since it's only been a month at most. They were a bear to get out of the plastic seal a meal style hanging 2 pack they are in, but better that they be almost too well packed than to have them falling out of the pack just for looking at them right?Longevity is one thing they wish rated, along with packaging thus the above paragraph. I am using these bulbs on 24 inch aquarium strip lights. I haven't really gotten any algae growth from it, and I decided NOT to try to grow live plants in this tank due to its height. The tank is a 45 gal high so the water depth is 36 inches.Testing this bulb vs a name brand bulb which was considerably more in price WITH both bulbs being "equal" according to the numbers at least. This bulb clearly lights deeper and with less shadowy look to it than the "name brand". The branded bulb is 3-5 months old which is worth considering maybe.

Very happy

If I could give NEGATIVE stars I would. These came in a 2 pack, wrapped in the thinnest bubble wrap sleeve, placed in a box, with another heavier box of bulbs, with no other packing materials. So when I opened box and took lights out, I wasn't surprised to hear that the bulbs had something loose in them. When I turned them on they didn't fully light up and they buzzed so loud. I ended up going to my local hardware store and paid more but they worked! Picture shows how all 4 bulbs turned on. Horrible quality broken or not!

I bought a 2 pack of these18" fluorescent tubes 6 months ago. The first bulb worked fine after I installed it but it died today. In my experience, that is a very short lifespan for a fluorescent tube. I would not buy this brand again.
