1-Pack Led Panel Ceiling Light Fixtures 24w 5730 SMD Circle Annular Round Replacement Board Bulb 3500K (Warm White)

For 6 months it worked perfect, but then suddenly started flickering and failed. Now it doesn't turn on any longer. I would expect it to last longer that 6 months...

I have an approximately 18" round florescent fixture in my kitchen. When one of the lights began to give out I figured I'd replace the fixture with some LED fixture. However, as I searched around, I really didn't see anything I liked plus they were kind of pricey. I then stumbled across some of these and figured why not! I mean the cost is less than replacement bulbs!So down came the fixture for a bit of prep work. Perhaps the most challenging part of this whole retrofit was drilling out some rivets and removing some hooks for the previous florescent tubes. Once I had a flat surface, I screwed the driver down where the ballast was held used the magnets to center the LED board. With everything wired up I have it test and LIGHT!All in all, the process took under an hour. The most difficult parts had nothing to do with this kit. Once I had the fixture back in place and wires handy, it took mere minutes to get everything connected. The reasons I'm not giving it five stars is due to the shipping method. The items was packed in bubble wrap and shipped via a padded envelop. The hardware was in another bag and it had come out and was rattling against the light. No damage was done but this really should be in a small box.Also, this is more about longevity and safety but the driver is extremely light weight. I have a feeling I may replace the driver with something a bit more robust later on.

use 2 sided tape for attaching to old fixture

Update- this is my second one and it's in better shape than the first that arrived bent. Did bother with the magnets this time just used some small nuts and bolts I has around. Works excellent. No more FL bulbs for meI had a nice looking (though florescent) light fixture for a laundry room that had two rings, one about 12" and the other 8". I also wanted to put an auto switch on the wall and that was tough to do with FL lights (due to the ballast I guess). Plus the lights were getting worn out and we that crummy FL color. I ordered this and used the old fixture housing that was still in nice condition . The only issue was tearing out the little clips that held in the old FL bulbs that were riveted into the housing. The magnets worked out but were a little fragile. I dropped the whole unit and two of them shattered but they gave two extras but one of those broke but it still stays in place ok.The packaging could have been better which is why I gave them a 4. The LED light itself is very thin and the post man actually FOLDED it to stuff it in my mailbox. I was able to flatten it out some and there is a plastic cover it anyways. all the LEDS pods work also.But the light itself works fine. The color is warmish- better than FL anyways... and I also bought a motion detected switch and now the whole thing turns on when you enter the room and stays on for 1/5/15 minutes. (another amazon part that cost more than this light) ..

Bought this to replace the 12inch circline flourescent bulb in my Hunter fanaway ceiling fan. Located in my kitchen I was looking for something very bright and this is described as being 2400 lumens, which is the equivalent of a 200w light bulb. Installation was super easy. But after putting the diffuser on and turning it on I was a bit disappointed that it doesn’t seem 200 watt bright, closer to 100 watt bulb. But it’s way brighter than the 32 watt circline bulb I had before which the box says is rated at 2100 lumens.

relatively easy to install / adapt to old torcherie lamp. Same light output and color as our old flourescent tube. Removed ballast and ring adaptor. Attached this with wire tie anchors and wire ties.

This replaced an 8" fluorescent bulb that burned out. All you have to do is remove the old starter, splice in the LED driver, remove any bulb holders for the old bulb, and this snaps in with the included magnet standoffs. It's a 10 minute affair. The result is 2-3 times brighter that the old fluorescent bulb. My fixture has a translucent plastic lamp cover that fit pretty tight to the base. So I drilled a series of 1/4" holes around the base of the plastic lamp cover where they wouldn't be seen to ventilate the fixture just in case. The lamp is now much brighter with a warm glow that works well in the utility room where it's installed. The provided LED driver has mounting holes but I just stuck it to the base of the lamp with velcro since it's very light. Works great. I only wish we could make LED products in the USA so I could buy American!

Received product on time and came without any defect. Only suggestion would be to use a box to ship the product in the future. Using just an bubble envelope may result on leds frame to bend.
