short lives. Suitable for HID lamps

3 of them only lasted about 2 weeks before exploding. I had relatively new ballast/capacitor sets at the time AND I used nylon gloves to install them to keep oil out of them, so I KNOW they were blown bulbs.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Not bad

it was a wrong bulb

The bulb didn't give me the lighting I needed. I had to send the lamps back and get a different picture. The problem with the balista, which requires 175W, has not yet been solved. Need to speak to someone in person (storefront) to decide.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Crumpled

That's a lightbulb. He glows.

That's what makes Revain so great. My wife mentions to me that the lights are out in one of her office buildings. I take the ladder and explore. Where the hell do I find something like that? I wonder. Raven of course. Two days later my wife tells me how wonderful I am.

Pros
  • Philips 31358-5
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled

Customer Service Recall

I actually ordered the wrong part so I had to send it back and order the correct bulbs. Their customer support was great, they correctly identified the bulb I needed and set me up for a new order and emailed me an RMA number to send back the wrong bulbs. They were very polite, helpful and quick to respond.

Pros
  • CRI: 65
Cons
  • Crumpled

Most didn't work. The picture shows the exact bulb that I changed. In fact, the wrong pear came. Came with a silver base, thin curved silver piece inside instead of the straight white as pictured and made in China (or maybe India. Can't remember exactly and I no longer have a chance to verify) not in the US like the one I replaced. Interestingly, I called an electrician (with a cherry picker) to replace these lightbulbs high up in the building. He just received a new box of Philips lightbulbs…

Pros
  • Color temperature: 4000 Kelvin
Cons
  • No instructions
