True in some aspects on 12v fluorescent led tubes are actually better.

Re: LED retrofit tube description
I've never had good experiences with 12V fluorescent, always hammering the tube cold cathode, thus killing the tube prematurely.
I've now ripped out all 12V fluorescent and replaced with LED and never looked back

Most common 12V inverters are just overhyped, overloaded, and cost-cut EM packs. Try running proper 230V FL on an inverter instead

Re: LED retrofit tube description
I'd probably prefer to use proper LED fittings rather than trying to put these in probably brittle and yellowed 12v fluorescent fittings. I wonder how many people have tried these in mains 8w fittings as that could easily be done.

I did run inverter fed 240v switch start 18w fluorescent.. in one of my vans. However my current van has 5 12v fluorescent fittings in it.
